Stop $100K/hr Production Downtime with a $50 DIN-Rail SPD

Complete AC power and RS485 signal surge protection systems engineered for panel builders and SCADA system integrators.

A single surge event on an unprotected control panel doesn't just destroy a $5,000 PLC — it halts the entire factory floor. Relying solely on AC breakers leaves your sensor networks dangerously exposed. TrilPeak’s IEC 61643-11 certified DIN-rail SPDs secure both power feeds and critical signal lines instantly.

Critical Vulnerabilities

Real-world failure scenarios that threaten industrial automation uptime.

Control Panel Feed

PLC & MCC Destruction

A transient voltage spike on the main AC power feed can instantly fry sensitive programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and motor control centers (MCCs). The hardware replacement costs thousands, but the unplanned line stoppage costs exponentially more.

Field Device Vulnerability

Unprotected Sensor Networks

Most panel builders protect the AC supply but ignore the data lines. Lightning-induced surges travel up unprotected RS485 and RS232 cables from field sensors and actuators, bypassing the power SPD and burning out the control board from the data side.

Assembly Compliance

Failed Project Specifications

Delivering an industrial control panel without IEC 61643-11 certified surge protection risks failing strict EPC and factory acceptance tests. Non-compliant, generic components lead to rejected panels and damaged OEM reputations.

Complete Protection System

The Complete DIN-Rail Panel Protection System

True industrial automation immunity requires a dual-threat approach. Protecting the AC power feed while leaving the RS485 signal lines exposed is a guaranteed path to PLC failure.

1

AC Power Feed — Main panel incoming supply

Protects against: Grid-borne voltage spikes destroying the main power supply and core controllers.
Type 1+2 SPD / Type 2 SPD
Heavy-duty, DIN-rail mounted AC surge protection to block external transients from entering the main control cabinet.
2

Control Signal Lines — RS485/RS232 to field devices

Protects against: Induced surges traveling from remote sensors directly into the PLC's sensitive communication ports.
RS485 / RS232 Signal SPD
Ultra-fast, low-voltage DIN-rail protection for critical SCADA and automation data loops.
3

Site Protection — Factory structure & roof

Protects against: Direct lightning strikes to the manufacturing plant or processing facility roof.
ESE Lightning Rod + Grounding & Earthing
Intercepts direct strikes and safely channels massive currents away from internal control electronics.
4

Security Add-on — Factory surveillance lines

Protects against: Surges entering the central control room via exposed exterior camera feeds.
CCTV / Coaxial SPD
Dedicated coaxial protection ensuring continuous visibility and security during severe electrical storms.
TrilPeak integrates seamlessly with standard DIN-rail setups, ensuring both power and logic systems remain indestructible.

Industrial Automation Surge Protection

Panel Builder FAQ

Why is protecting the RS485 signal lines just as important as the AC power feed?

Lightning-induced surges can enter the control panel through field wiring (sensors, actuators). If only the AC power is protected, the surge will bypass the main SPD and destroy the PLC via its communication ports. Both pathways require dedicated protection.

Do your industrial SPDs mount on standard control panel rails?

Yes, all our industrial automation AC and signal SPDs are designed for standard 35mm DIN-rail mounting, ensuring seamless integration for OEM panel builders and system integrators.

Are your SPDs certified for European and international industrial projects?

Absolutely. TrilPeak AC SPDs are CE certified and strictly comply with the IEC 61643-11 standard, making them fully compliant for integration into export-bound control panels and EPC projects.

What happens when the surge protector reaches the end of its lifespan?

Our DIN-rail SPDs feature a visual status indicator (green/red) and an optional remote signalling contact. The pluggable module design allows maintenance teams to hot-swap the cartridge without disconnecting the main power or halting the production line.

Can you supply SPDs for varying industrial control voltages?

Yes, we manufacture a comprehensive range of SPDs covering standard 120V/230V/400V AC power feeds, as well as low-voltage 12V/24V DC control lines and 5V RS485 communication loops.
