BLITZDUCTOR® ML4 BPD 24 for process automation systems

New module of the BLITZDUCTOR® XT series

In automation technology and process control, different communication technologies are used between the control system and sensors/actuators. DEHN has now developed a new module which is specifically suited for digital signals (DI/DO).

automation technology

The BXT ML4 BPD 24 combined arrester1 protects 24 V d.c. interfaces with earthed negative pole.
In case of a fault, high short-circuit currents flow through battery-backed 24 V d.c. systems for supplying digital outputs. This may overload the arrester.

Signal short-circuits and system faults – Prevent arrester failure

To prevent overload and failure of the arrester, the potential short-circuit current is limited by PTC resistors in the circuit. Thus, the BXT ML4 BPD 24 is ideally suited for circuits with short-circuit currents as high as 40 A in case of a fault.

Arrester testing during operation

Arresters can be easily tested without disconnecting the signal loop by means of the LifeCheck® monitoring system.

BLITZDUCTOR® ML4 BPD 24 combined arrester for 24 V d.c. interfaces
  • No arrester backup fuse needed for short-circuit currents up to 40 A
  • The arrester can also be used for systems with earthed negative pole  
  • No overload resulting from system faults in the signal circuit
  • LifeCheck® arrester monitoring
