Surge Protection for Industrial Control Systems
Power quality | Control panels, equipment protection, and system reliability
✓ What problem are we solving?
Control systems, instrumentation, network hardware, and automation equipment can be damaged or disrupted by voltage transients. A surge event can create nuisance faults, failed components, lost communications, and avoidable downtime.
Britton Electronics & Automation engineers surge protection into the electrical and controls design so sensitive equipment is protected as part of the overall system, not treated as an afterthought.
Reduced equipment failures
Proper surge protection helps protect PLCs, power supplies, instruments, and network devices from transient events.
Improved uptime
Protecting control hardware reduces nuisance failures and helps keep production and utility systems available.
Cleaner panel standards
Listed surge protection devices can be integrated into panels with practical installation and maintenance access.
✓ What technology supports the solution?
Phoenix Contact VAL-US surge protection devices provide UL 1449 Listed options for North American voltage configurations and industrial panel applications. BEA uses this type of technology to support reliable control system design.
✓ Review incoming power, panel distribution, and protected loads.
✓ Select surge protection devices for the voltage and application.
✓ Integrate protection into a maintainable electrical design.
✓ How is the solution implemented?
BEA can review existing control panels, identify sensitive equipment, and recommend surge protection practices that support long-term reliability and easier maintenance.
