Introduction
Surge protecting devices perform an important task in ensuring that control panels, PLCs, drives, instruments, communications, and other sensitive electrical equipment are safeguarded against transient over-voltages. However, the performance of the surge protection device can be compromised due to regular surges.
The remote contact and alarm can help the maintenance team identify the state of the surge protecting device without having to do manual inspection. By way of the status information received by the control system, the remote contact and alarm would be able to locate the malfunction of the surge protector device prior to the next surge or any complications that come up.
