Further information for ABB RT5/150 - Surge Suppressor
RT5/150 is a transil diode suppressor designed to reduce the maximum overvoltage peak value and to limit or even completely eliminate the high pre-attenuation voltage frequencies when used with a DC-operated conventional contactor for a control circuit voltage rating between 77...150V DC.
The surge protector is clipped onto the top or side of the contactor or contactor relay without changing the dimensions of the device.
A number of disadvantages are observed, ranging from interference with electronic equipment to failure of insulators and destruction of certain sensitive components.

Good energy absorption - Unpolarized system - Simple, reliable system
Very fast clipping: attenuation of steep fronts and thus of high frequencies. No operational delays.
