"Surge Protection for Measurement and Control Systems"

September 19, 2012 | By Phoenix Contact, Electronics News 

Measurement and control systems are vulnerable to transient surges and therefore require robust lightning and surge protection to avoid plant outages. In addition to providing high-performance protection circuits and equipment status monitoring, it is especially important to ensure that surge protection systems are easily installable and expandable.

Ensuring production plant availability is becoming increasingly important. Plant outages in any industrial sector generally entail substantial financial loss. Many demands are placed on surge protection devices (SPDs) in measurement and control systems.

Lightning and surge protection requirements

In order for lightning and surge protection equipment to do its part in ensuring production facility availability, the SPDs must have high-performance protection circuits. Moreover, the protection systems also have to be monitored. It is not sufficient just to report an outage after it has already occurred; preventive information about the status of the installed SPDs is also required.

The facilities to be protected are typically widely distributed. It is thus advantageous to be able to report and monitor the status of SPDs remotely to avoid having to perform constant on-site inspections of the protection systems. The additional effort required to install remote monitoring systems should incur as little time and cost as possible.
