DEHN scaricatore combinato modulare per 2 conduttori singoli BCO ML2 BE 24 (927224)

The DEHN BCO ML2 BE 24 is a modular combined arrester engineered for protecting two single wires in information technology systems. Unlike basic surge protectors that only handle common-mode disturbances, this unit provides coordinated protection for both common-mode and differential-mode surges, ensuring sensitive data lines remain operational even under transient overvoltage conditions. Its plug-in modular design allows for quick replacement of protection modules without disconnecting the wiring, minimizing downtime in critical installations.

Highlights

• Protects 2 single wires in data and signal circuits
• Nominal voltage 24 V DC, max continuous operating voltage 28 V DC
• High discharge capacity: 10 kA per line (8/20 µs), 20 kA total
• Low voltage protection level ≤150 V at nominal discharge current
• Wide operating temperature range: -40 °C to +80 °C
• Mounts on 35 mm DIN rail, screw terminal connection

In daily use

Install the BCO ML2 BE 24 at the entry point of data lines to shield downstream equipment from surge damage. Its compact thermoplastic housing fits standard distribution boards, and the screw terminals accept solid or stranded conductors up to 2.5 mm². The module can be replaced without tools after a surge event, restoring protection quickly. With a cut-off frequency of 100 MHz, it is suitable for high-speed data transmission up to 100 Mbit/s without signal degradation.
