Although industrial computers and plcs are designed to be rugged, protection against the extreme voltage surges caused by lightning activity and the switching of large electrical motors demands the extra protection provided by the DIN rail mounting MA05/D and MA10/D units. Typically used in the controls section of a motor control cubicle (MCC), this range provides voltage surge and RFI protected power.
