Circuit & System Protection


Four-channel surge protection module

14 July 2004 Circuit & System Protection Surveillance

Most factories today are facing increasingly complex wiring systems with high voltages. Interference from these high voltage wires can cause serious damage to control systems. The result of such a surge is usually costly, as all the components in the control system may need to be replaced. The ADAM-4914V ensures protection against these surge voltages up to 4000 V.

The compact design of the ADAM family helps save space, and it has flexible mounting options like wall, panel, piggyback, cabinets and also, DIN rails. While most surge protectors in the market offer only one channel, Advantech offers four. This means less space is required, and the cost of protecting multiple channels is minimised.

The ADAM-4914V can be used for thermocouple or other voltage-based signals and is recommended for plants with high voltage wiring systems that may interfere with the voltage signals of a control system.
