LYXJ‑24
LYXJ-24 Modular Compact Surge Protective Device for Signal Lines
Installation Location
Installed at the input terminals of instrument control systems, DCS systems, PLC control systems, and analog/digital signal circuits.
Function Description
It is mainly used to protect sensitive electronic instruments, control systems and communication interfaces from lightning surges, switching overvoltages and induced overvoltages, supporting hot-swap maintenance.
Key Parameter
Nominal voltage Un: 24V DC; Max. continuous operating voltage Uc: 28V DC; Nominal discharge current In: 5kA; Max. discharge current Imax: 10kA; Signal transmission rate: ≤2Mbps.
Application
Suitable for industrial control, instrument systems, DCS/PLC systems, sensor signal loops and low-speed data communication lines.
