10 kA surge protector

18 May 2016 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Surgetek has introduced the Copa Data Multi Wire, designed for surge currents of up to 10 kA. The new surge protector is an update of the Copa Data 8-wire, which served the industry for 20 years and is installed in numerous applications such as petrol dispensers, access control and instrumentation control systems in South Africa.

Housed in a slimmer and trimmer casing, the units can protect both DC power up to 48 V and various data protocols. The 22,5 mm wide and 92 mm high unit facilitates easy insertion and removal when required, and can be tailored for use across multiple applications. This is achieved by the use of three separate levels in each unit that enables a combination of power and various data protocols. Pricing remains competitive as the units are locally manufactured and assembled, and they can be made up to any configuration.

All wiring is by means of five-way plug-in connectors – four active wires and one screen or signal ground wire, and units are available in 4-, 8- and 12-wire configurations. Typical configurations will be for 4-20 mA loops, single wire protection or pairs of wires from 5 – 48 V up to a maximum current of 1,7 A.

The plug-and-play surge protector earths itself automatically to a standard 35 mm DIN rail via an integrated earth clip; additional earth wires are available if required.
