Load feeders. Selectively protected by SITOP select

Automation components are normally supplied with 24-volt direct current. With the SITOP select electronic diagnostic module, each 24 V load is monitored for overload and short-circuit and is shut down when a fault occurs. One diagnostic module monitors as many as 4 load feeders, which can be brought onto load sequentially at prescribed times to off-load the power supply.

Fast fault detection and targeted fault recovery

Cause of fault precisely identifiable: briefly high switch-on currents, overload or short-circuit
