Scheidt & Bachmann uses CLIXTRAB for surge protection in control and safety technology systems

The revised DB Directive 819.0808 places high demands on surge protection concepts in electronic and digital signal boxes. Signal system manufacturer Scheidt & Bachmann uses CLIXTRAB surge protection from Phoenix Contact.

To avoid wasting time with all the electrical switching processes performed during the testing and simulations, we chose Phoenix Contact Push-in direct-connection technology.
