Application

When relay signal boxes are converted into electronic signal boxes, numerous sensitive electronic devices are integrated into the system technology. These must be protected from environmental influences such as transient overvoltages. That is why surge protective devices that provide lightning protection are so essential when it comes to modernization.

Operators often encounter space issues when existing control cabinets still need to be used. In outdoor installations in particular, the available space is very limited and completely replacing the control cabinet is a costly undertaking.

With CLIXTRAB, Phoenix Contact offers a surge protection solution that takes up the same amount of installation space as a conventional terminal block. No additional space is required. This allows you to make optimum use of the available space, protect your electronic signal boxes, and increase system availability.
