The DS240-230/G Type 2 surge protector
Product.Nr. DS240/G
The DS240 Type 2 surge protectors are compact devices designed to ,
protect single phase networks at the main switchboard. They provide a ,
common or common/differential mode protection. This SPD is based on high,
energy varistor equipped with thermal disconnectors and failure ,
indicator to comply with standards. The DS240 is DIN rail compatible and,
is built with a plug-in module and fixed base, which allows an easy and,
fast maintenance.,

product description
The DS240-230/G Type 2 surge protector
AC voltage in a sine wave, as is generated in power plants, is a ,
problem-free affair, in and of itself. But unfortunately, this sine wave,
is often garbled by the time it reaches the end user. Spikes and ,
distortion of the wave can lead to superimposed voltages, higher ,
frequencies or upper harmonics, which not every electronic device can ,
handle. Another problem is €˜transient surges€™. These are extremely short,
surges lasting thousandths of a second, but which can very ,
significantly exceed the maximum voltage value (up to 2,000V). Since ,
they create a spicular deformation of the sine wave, they are also ,
called €˜spikes€™. These are caused either by a lightning strike to the ,
mains or, much more frequently, by the switching on and off of certain ,
loads, including inductive loads. Spikes are especially dangerous for ,
electronic devices and may damage or completely destroy them.,,
LED lights and LED lamps always have an electronic component (both AC ,
and DC supply) and are surge protected by special electronic circuits. ,
However, the electronics are virtually powerless against surge spikes, ,
which can destroy them. Surge arresters are the solution to this ,
problem, and can be switched on in the LED load€™s circuit, thereby ,
providing safe surge protection. We therefore recommend that you protect,
your LED lighting, to keep them bright and lit for a long time to come!
