Reliable protection for sensitive process automation systems

Process automation and process control rely on precision and reliability—but transient voltages can disrupt even the most advanced systems. DEHN’s BLITZDUCTOR ML4 BPD 24 is a new surge protection module that shields sensitive 24 V DC digital signal interfaces to prevent damage, downtime, and costly interruptions. 

Designed to meet the demands of modern automation, the BLITZDUCTOR ML4 BPD 24 delivers consistent performance and long-term system integrity, so your operations stay on track.

Eliminate the weak link in your signal circuit

Every automation system depends on seamless communication between its control systems and digital outputs—but even nominal voltage surges and short-circuit currents can disrupt this critical connection. Without robust safeguards in place, the signal loop is exposed, leaving your systems open to disruptions, damage, and unnecessary expenses.

The DEHN BLITZDUCTOR ML4 BPD 24 eliminates this risk. Designed for process automation systems, this plugged-in protection module defends your signal circuits from overvoltage damage while preventing arrester failure. 

With features like integrated PTC resistors to handle short-circuit currents up to 40 A and LifeCheck monitoring system for simple, contactless arrester testing, it delivers the voltage protection level necessary to keep your systems running without interruption.
