Surge protection in the mining industry Protect your equipment

Phoenix Contact is a pioneer in the development of surge protective devices. Decades of experience and fundamental research in cooperation with universities are the foundation for our technological expertise. Our in-house, accredited pulse and high-current laboratory allows us to develop our products safely and in line with standards from the initial idea right through to series production.

Products for surge protection


Surge protection for MCR technology

Surge protection for MCR technology

With an overall width starting at just 3.5 mm, TERMITRAB complete offers a complete product portfolio for nearly every application in measurement and control technology. Whatever the type of signal to be protected, you will find a perfectly suited circuit version for your application.

Surge protection for power supply systems

Surge protection for power supply systems

The surge protective devices of the SEC family ensure reliable, uninterrupted operation of your system. A backup-fuse-free application and the uniform, compact design enable the efficient and easy planning of your control cabinets.

Device circuit breakers

Device circuit breakers

Safely protect your equipment against overload and short-circuit currents in a space-saving way. With our multi-channel device circuit breakers, you can protect multiple circuits with a single small-footprint device. All channels can be individually adjusted and thus individually adapted to the connected load. Reliably protect a circuit in the smallest of spaces with single-channel device circuit breakers.

Multi-level protection concept

Thanks to the surge protective devices from the Safe Energy Control family, it is extremely easy to assemble multi-level protection concepts for standard installations. Parameters such as high continuous voltage, voltage protection level, and discharge capacity are optimally tailored to one another. The basic framework for the concept takes the form of multi-level surge protection in the power supply with a type 1 lightning current arrester in the main supply, type 2 surge protection in the subdistributions, and type 3 device protection.
