LIGHTNING CONTROLLER MC50-B/U
Product code
5808002
LightningController bottom part
Kanta MC 50-B U VDE 1-pole
Type 1 surge protectors conduct the discharge current of a direct lightning strike to ground through the grounding electrode and limit the resulting overvoltages to a safe level.
Installation method DIN rail 35 mm
Model 1-pole
Protection class IP 20
Discharge capacity (8/20) [total] (kA) 125
Impulse current (10/350) [total] (kA) 125
Nominal discharge current (8/20) (kA) 50
No indication on device
Distribution unit TE (17.5 mm) 2
Temperature range (°C) -40 : +85
When a direct lightning strike hits a building protected by an external lightning protection system, large potential differences can arise between the building and installed systems (electrical, telecommunications cables), leading to dangerous fires and damage. Nearby lightning strikes generate strong magnetic fields that can damage electrical equipment. But even lightning strikes up to 2 km away can generate dangerous overvoltages in the building's electrical equipment. OBO provides all necessary products for implementing reliable lightning protection: surge protectors, overvoltage protectors, potential equalization and grounding accessories. This product description is an automated translation of the original Finnish description.
