SPDs for instrumentation and control (I&C)

Overvoltage coupling along the conductor path may disturb or destroy sensitive signal inputs. It is important to provide protection in the immediate vicinity of I&C devices. Weidmüller's broad product range for the I&C sector offers products in a 2-piece, pluggable design and modular terminals for tension clamp or screw connection. These products are suitable for both binary and analogue signals. Weidmüller also offers other designs with integrated components such as gas discharge tubes or varistors. VARITECTOR stands for flexible and variable surge protection by Weidmüller, tested according to product standard IEC61643-21. The VARITECTOR series can be used in applications according to IEC 61643-22 / VDE 0845-3 for classes C1, C2, C3 and D1. The VARITECTOR SPC, SSC and MCZ OVP product families optimally combine electrical and mechanical properties. Size and easy handling play an important role. This surge protection is suited for confined spaces in industrical and process automation as well as in building automation applications.
