The ABB RT5/150 is a compact transil diode surge suppressor designed to protect DC operated ABB contactors and contactor relays from voltage spikes generated when inductive loads are switched. It helps reduce overvoltage peaks and improve the reliability of industrial control circuits.
This surge suppressor clips directly onto compatible ABB contactors or contactor relay bases without increasing the overall device dimensions. Its fast voltage clipping characteristics help protect sensitive electrical components while maintaining reliable contactor operation.
With a rated control circuit voltage range of 77–150 V DC, the ABB RT5/150 is suitable for ABB DC operated contactors and industrial automation systems where suppression of coil switching surges is required.
