Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary function of the Phoenix Contact 2907928?

Its primary function is to protect single-phase power supply networks from transient overvoltages and surges, safeguarding connected equipment.

How is the device installed?

It is installed on a 35mm DIN rail and features Push-in connection technology for quick, tool-free wiring.

What does the status indicator signify?

The status indicator provides a visual cue to the operational status of the surge protection device. A normal indicator means it is functioning correctly; a fault indicator suggests it may have absorbed a surge or is otherwise non-operational.

Can I replace just the protective plug?

Yes, the protective plug is designed to be easily removed and replaced without disconnecting the base element's wiring, simplifying maintenance.

What is the warranty on this device?

Phoenix Contact offers a 5-year warranty on their QUINT 4 power supply when this PLT-SEC surge protection device is installed together with it. Please refer to the product documentation for full details.

What is the maximum voltage this device can handle?

The nominal voltage is 230V AC/DC, with a maximum continuous voltage rating of 264V AC / 275V DC.

Can this device be used in extreme temperatures?

Yes, it is designed to operate reliably in a wide temperature range from -40°C to +80°C.

Troubleshooting

Device status indicator shows fault or no light.

Check the power supply connection. The device may have absorbed a surge and protected the system, requiring the protective plug to be replaced. Verify wiring to the remote signaling contacts.

Remote signaling contact not activating.

Ensure the device is properly connected and powered. Verify the wiring between the device's telecommunication contacts and the monitoring system. Check if the system has registered a surge event or device fault.

Device does not fit on DIN rail.

Ensure you are using a standard 35mm DIN rail. Check if the mounting clip on the device is properly engaged.

Overheating or unusual noise.

Immediately de-energize the circuit and disconnect the device. This indicates a critical failure or an overvoltage condition beyond the device's rating. Contact technical support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Quick, tool-free installation with Push-in connection technology
  • Increased service life and availability of the system, thanks to optimal protection of your industrial power supply
  • Easy maintenance and testing of protective devices, thanks to pluggable connections
  • Integrated status indicator for clear operational feedback
  • Remote signaling capability for enhanced monitoring

Cons

  • Primarily designed for single-phase power supply networks; may not be suitable for all industrial configurations.
  • Maximum surge current rating of 0.026kA (rated leakage surge current 5kA) might be insufficient for very high surge events in certain applications.
  • Requires DIN rail mounting, limiting installation options.
  • IP20 protection rating means it's not suitable for environments with significant dust or water ingress.
  • Requires careful matching with the protected load's nominal voltage (230V AC/DC nominal, 240V AC/DC maximum).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the power supply is de-energized before installation.
  2. Mount the device onto a standard 35mm DIN rail.
  3. Connect the incoming power lines to the base element using the Push-in connection terminals. Follow the polarity markings (L, N, PE).
  4. Connect the output terminals to the load.
  5. For remote signaling, connect the telecommunication contacts to your monitoring system.
  6. Ensure the protective plug is fully inserted into the base element.
  7. Restore power and verify the status indicator shows normal operation.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for single-phase power supply networks.
  • Nominal voltage: 230 V AC/DC. Maximum continuous voltage: 264 V AC / 275 V DC.
  • Maximum conductor cross-section: 4mm² (rigid), 2.5mm² (flexible, fine-stranded).
  • Designed for DIN rail mounting.

Care:

  • The device requires minimal care. No user-serviceable parts inside the protective plug.
  • Periodically check the status indicator for any deviations from normal operation.
  • The pluggable connection allows for easy replacement of the protective plug if needed without having to disconnect the wiring.
  • Ensure the surrounding environment remains within the operating temperature range (-40°C to +80°C) and the IP20 rating is not compromised.
