Surge protector VRCE-4 004641729

Overvoltage protection for your installation

The VRCE-4 surge protector is a key element in protecting electrical installations from the effects of lightning strikes and other surges. Based on varistor technology, this device effectively protects connected devices and circuits from damage caused by sudden voltage increases. This is particularly important in multi-core systems where the risk of damage is higher.

Design and application

This four-pole surge protector (24V) is designed for universal mounting on 35 mm rails in standard distribution boards. Its compact dimensions (only 8.7 mm wide) allow for saving space inside distribution cabinets. Direct grounding of the screen and screwless connection terminals facilitate and speed up installation, and also ensure a secure connection. The ability to test the protective circuit using Life Control further increases the safety and reliability of the system.

The VRCE-4 surge protector finds application in a wide range of installations, both in residential and industrial buildings. It will be useful wherever protection against overvoltage is required, e.g. in automation, control or lighting systems. It complies with IEC 61643-21 standard and is classified as Type 1+2+3 / D1+C2+C1, which guarantees its high efficiency and reliability.

Key features and benefits

• High protection efficiency: Rated impulse current up to 2 kA (D1) and 10 kA (8/20) provides effective protection against surges of various origins.
• Versatility: Can be used in various types of electrical installations thanks to a wide range of rated voltages (24 V AC / 28 V DC).
• Easy installation: Screwless connection terminals and compact dimensions facilitate and speed up installation.
• Safety: The ability to test the protective circuit using Life Control ensures continuous control over the device's efficiency.
• Wide operating temperature range: From -40°C to +80°C allows the use of the protector in difficult environmental conditions.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of IEC 61643-21 standard and has a UL certificate (4DG1), which confirms its high quality and safety.
• Low capacitive leakage current: Wire-to-ground capacitance below 40 pF minimizes the impact of the protector on the operation of sensitive electronic devices.
