Power Surge—The No. 1 Underestimated Cause of Damage

Overvoltages due to lightning strikes or switching operations are one of the most common causes of electronic damage. In process engineering plants such as refineries with exposed building parts or extensive water management systems, surge events can cause devastating damage: from fires, damage to or destruction of expensive components and machines, to breakdown of complete automation systems—not including risks to personnel.

Based on more than 20 years of experience, Pepperl+Fuchs has acquired significant know-how in surge protection. M-LB-4000 offers reliable diagnostics, easy handling and a space saving housing design.

The Easiest Way to Protect Plant Assets

The surge protection system M-LB-4000 reliably protects high-value components and plant assets from overvoltage and surge currents. The module offers a combination of diagnostics and modularity within a narrow housing design of only 6 mm width. In this video, you will see how the new system facilitates surge protection while ensuring greater efficiency, flexibility, and availability to your process plant assets.
