FS-LB-I Intrinsically Safe Surge Protection Barrier with 20 kA Surge Current and DIN Rail Mount for Industrial Automation
The PEPPERL+FUCHS FS-LB-I Surge Protection Barrier is a 1-channel field mount module designed to protect sensitive field instruments and transmitters from induced transients caused by lightning strokes, switching impulses, and other electrical disturbances.
| Mounting Type | Field mount module with M20 x 1.5 thread |
| Housing Material | Stainless steel |
| Max. Surge Current (8/20 µs) | 20 kA |
| Isolation from Earth | 500 V |
| Hazardous Area Rating | Suitable for hazardous areas |
| Safety Integrity Level | Up to SIL 3 according to IEC/EN 61508 |
This surge protection barrier limits induced transients by diverting transient current to ground and limiting signal line voltage to safe levels during surge events. It provides 85 V line-to-line and 500 V line-to-ground clamping voltage for protected instruments.
