Safe Energy Control (SEC) technology from Phoenix Contact is the basis for durable and powerful lightning and surge protection. The revolutionary new design of spark gap safely prevents any line follow current. This protects your system, including fuses and arresters.
For most applications, this means that a separate arrester backup fuse is no longer needed.

How do you save money when it comes to industrial electrical installations? You may think cheaper materials is the best way, but then you may compromise on quality. One way could be working harder and faster to reduce time, but again quality could decrease and mistakes could be made.

The COMBI plug-in system enables the time-saving and modular configuration of your 
application. Its distinguishing feature is its standardised plug-in zone. This makes it possible to freely combine basic terminal blocks, which are available with screw, push-in, spring-cage, and fast connection technology. The nominal data of up to 41 A and 1000 V has made a plug-in system for signal and power wiring possible.
Both the terminal blocks and the connectors are touch proof. In addition, all connectors can be individually assembled, i.e., they can be adapted to match the required number of positions in each application.
