M-LB-(Ex-)2000-System – Surge Protection Barriers

Product Specifications

2.4

Surge Protection Barrier

The device limits induced transients of different causes, e. g. lightning or switching operations. 

The limitation is achieved by diverting the current to earth and limiting the signal loop voltage 

during the duration of the overvoltage pulse.

The devices are distinguished:

By their working voltage

By their topology, see chapter 2.2

By operating location and area of application

Devices with green marking and equipment protection level Gc 

for connection of non-intrinsically safe circuits

Devices with blue marking and equipment protection level Gb 

for connection of intrinsically safe circuits

The device is mounted on a 35 mm x 7.5 mm DIN mounting rail according to EN 60715.

The DIN mounting rail is used to attach the device in the switch cabinet and is responsible 

for grounding the surge protection barriers. The DIN rail mounting ensures a grounding 

connection with the lowest possible resistance of the device.
