New MERLIN GERIN® SPD Protects Against Transient Voltage Surge up to 80,000 Amps


Compact, DIN-rail mounted Multi 9 also assures OEM design flexibility

PALATINE, Ill. - Aug. 22, 2002 - The new MERLIN GERIN® Multi 9 Surge Protection Device (SPD) reduces maintenance repair costs and prevents data loss by ensuring reliable operation of end-users' equipment. For OEMs, the parallel, DIN-rail mountable Multi 9 SPD ensures superior design flexibility with terminal connected devices that include one-, two- and four-pole models.

The Multi 9 SPD helps lower service costs and pre-empts the need to purchase new equipment by reducing the wear and damage caused by common, unseen transient events. Increased reliability also reduces unexpected downtime and prevents the loss of data. The Multi 9 SPD mounts to industry-standard rails, easily conforming to production processes. Its compact size simplifies installation and preserves cabinet space.

The Multi 9 family is the only DIN-rail mounted offering that meets OEMs' needs for a wide range of applications, with models available in most international voltages for both single- and three-phase power systems. The MERLIN GERIN Multi 9 SPD can be attached to custom control panels, telecommunications applications, PLC automation cabinets, industrial electronics, single- or three-phase power systems as well as numerous other OEM applications.

A plug-in module on the single-pole Multi 9 SPD enables module replacement without unwiring electrical connections to avoid costly rewiring and extended downtime. Its thermal fuse protects against extreme surge currents and prevents dangerous thermal runway conditions.
