Transtector: Dual Track Arrestor

The Dual Track Arrestor (DTA) from Transtector is a DIN rail mounted surge suppressor with equalizer for the protection of track monitoring circuits located in bungalows and shelters. It offers high-performance surge protection with "significantly reduced labor complexity" and a range of serviceability features, the company says.

The DTA features a low-voltage protection level to effectively protect track monitoring circuits located in bungalows and shelters from lightning and induced surges. Remote status monitoring capabilities, easy circuit disconnect and dedicated ports for high voltage megger testing and other routine signal maintenance tasks further improve serviceability over traditional AAR terminals, the company says.

Replaceable plug-and-play surge modules eliminate potential miswiring issues during maintenance and troubleshooting procedures. The DTA features a "touch-safe" design and meets AREMA wiring and surge requirements, the company says.
