Load monitoring and potential distribution combined

1 May 2017 Electrical Power & Protection

The Weidmuller maxGUARD electronic load monitoring terminals allow load (electronic fuse monitoring) and potential distribution for 24 V DC control voltages in one, which leads to space savings of over 50% in control panels. Visit Stands A10-A11 to find out about its other benefits – it is user friendly, saves wiring time and eliminates wiring errors.
