What Is The Function Of Surge Protector Remote Signal?

Choosing a suitable surge protector is a rigorous job. When choosing a surge protective device, even if we have the same model, we will find a difference - remote signal. Then some readers may have questions, what is remote signal? What is its working principle? Why do we need to equip remote signal, and what is the role of remote signal of surge protection device? Today, the editor will answer these questions one by one.

What is the role of remote signal of surge protector? First of all, what is remote signal? Remote signal is a simple relay. Usually it has a normally open end, a normally closed end and a grounding end. Usually, we need to connect its normally open end and normally closed end to the corresponding terminals of the signal collector respectively, and connect the grounding end to the grounding device. What is its role? Through remote signal, we can find the abnormal working condition of the surge protector at any time. When the surge protector deteriorates and fails, the user can promptly find and replace the failed surge protector to ensure that the lightning protection continues to be effective. With the remote signal terminal, it is much more convenient for users to use surge protectors.

What is the role of remote signal of surge protector? So what is the working principle of remote signal? As a device that can provide alarm information, the remote signal is usually connected to the trip device. Under normal working conditions, it is in a short-circuit state and outputs a short-circuit signal; when the surge protector overheats and causes the trip device to disconnect, the remote signal device (relay) will be triggered, the normally closed end will be disconnected, the normally open end will be closed, and an open circuit signal will be transmitted to the signal collector. In this way, we can detect the abnormal state of the surge protector in time, and alarm and maintain it in time to reduce the incidence of lightning accidents.

After reading this short article, I believe that everyone has a deeper understanding of the role of the surge protector remote signal. When we choose a lightning arrester, we should try to choose a surge protector with remote signal, which will be more convenient for later maintenance.
