DEHNvenCI DVCI1 255 FM protector contra sobretensiones tipo 1+2, 1 polo, 255 V AC, 12,5 kA (10/350 µs), carril DIN

In industrial control cabinets and at building service entrances, the DEHNvenCI DVCI1 255 FM stands guard against transient overvoltages. This 1-pole combination arrester from DEHN + SOEHNE meets Type 1 and Type 2 requirements, making it suitable for lightning equipotential bonding and surge protection in low-voltage systems. It is engineered for 230 V AC networks and mounts on a standard 35 mm DIN rail, occupying just one module width (18 mm).

Why choose it

DEHNvenCI DVCI1 255 FM combines high discharge capacity with a compact design, protecting sensitive equipment without wasting panel space. The integrated remote signaling contact enables remote monitoring, while the visual fault indicator allows quick status checks at a glance.

Ideal use cases

• Lightning equipotential bonding in industrial control cabinets
• Surge protection at building service entrances for low-voltage systems
• Protection of 230 V AC power supplies and distribution boards
• Applications requiring remote monitoring of surge protection status

Good to know

This arrester is designed for use in systems with a maximum continuous operating voltage of 255 V AC. It is suitable for both TN-S and TT systems when installed according to local regulations. The potential-free changeover contact allows integration into building management systems for remote fault signaling.
