PLUGTRAB PT - A host of applications and just one solution

PLUGTRAB PT is surge protection par excellence. The customers' requirements regarding the applications have determined the specification of this product family. Very little space required, solution-oriented switching technology, impedance-neutral plugging in and unplugging, low price level and maximum performance - These are not the only advantages that PLUGTRAB PT has to offer.


Pluggable to perfection


The pluggable feature of the PLUGTRAB PT product family is one of the biggest advantages for you. Thanks to this feature, replacing faulty plugs when servicing is necessary is inexpensive. Even the servicing is considerably simplified. For example, isolation measurements are possible without disconnection or signal influences. Naturally all plugs can be tested with the CHECKMASTER. The plug guide on the base elements ensures proper insertion and contacting and the plug coding offer maximum installation safety.
  • Economical replacement in the event of servicing
  • Service without disconnection
  • Testing of all plugs with the CHECKMASTER
  • Reliable installation
  • Safe insertion and contacting
  • Saves installation costs



Space-saving


PLUGTRAB PT is the space saving solution for the control cabinet. With a width of only 17.5 mm (1 div.), you can protect up to four binary signals, two double wires or a four-conductor measurement from surge voltages. This results in only 3.5 mm width per channel. This means that not only the assembly in the control cabinet remains easy, but even the installation costs are minimized.
  • Space saving installation
  • Surge protection of up to 5 signal lines in one pitch division
  • Easy to retrofit in existing installations



Self-coding


To offer you maximum installation safety, all base elements and plugs are self-coding. This means that when plugged in the first time, the base element is marked with the appropriate plug thanks to the integrated keying pin. Wrong installations, e.g. in modules of varying voltage levels, are thus ruled out. The plug guide in the base element makes incorrect plugging in impossible.
  • Reliable installation
  • Integrated keying pins
  • Self-coding when plugged in
  • Plug guide in base element



Innovative shielding concepts

With PLUGTRAB PT, you can choose between direct and indirect ground connection of the shield potential. The different base elements make this possible. In the PT...+F-BE types, the shielding potential is indirectly connected to ground through a gas discharge arrester. The shield fast connection is available as an accessory. With this, the shielding can be connected to the appropriate screw terminal block quickly and easily.


The "Pit Stop" for pluggable arresters


With the CHECKMASTER, the fully automatic testing device for almost all pluggable arresters from Phoenix Contact, you can test and document comfortably. The tests demanded by the VDE for surge protection devices can thus be documented easily and permanently. The test results can also be printed on a printer via the serial interface or transferred to a PC for further use.



Summary

PLUGTRAB PT is not a mere collection of articles but a seamless concept for practical applications. This product family can be used for a variety of applications. Thus, PLUGTRAB PT offers one solution for a variety of applications.
