Catalog Description : RC5-2/250 Surge Suppressor

Long Description : RC5-2/250 is a RC type surge suppressor designed to reduce the maximum overvoltage peak value and to limit                                 or even completely eliminate the high pre-damping voltage frequencies, when used with an AC operated                                           conventional contactor for a rated control circuit voltage between 110 ... 250 V AC 50/60Hz.

                               The operation of inductive circuits causes overvoltages, in particular on opening of the contactor coil. The                                         electromagnetic energy stored in the coil during contactor closing is restored on opening in the form of surges,                                   the slope and amplitude of which may rise to several kilovolts. A number of drawbacks are observed ranging                                     from interference on the electronic devices to breakdown of insulators and even destruction of certain sensitive                                 components.

                               Advantages:

                               - the surge suppressor is clipped onto the top or side part in regards with the contactor or contactor relay base                                       design without change in device overall dimensions.

                               - very fast clipping: attenuation of steep fronts and thus of high frequencies. No operating delays.
