OPOZORILO: Electrical shock hazard. Installation and maintenance should only be performed by qualified personnel. Disconnect power before installation or servicing.
Observe all local and national electrical codes. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.
The ABB RC5-1/250 is a compact surge suppressor designed for easy integration with ABB control devices. Its primary function is to absorb transient voltage spikes, protecting sensitive electronic components.

Figure 3.1: Top-side view of the ABB RC5-1/250 Surge Suppressor. The image shows the grey rectangular body with two metal prongs extending from the bottom. Markings on the top surface include "ABB", "RC5-1/250", "110-250V~", UL and CE certifications, and "Use with: N, A9...A40, AS, NS".
The RC5-1/250 surge suppressor is designed for simple, direct mounting onto compatible ABB contactors and motor starters.
For detailed diagrams specific to your contactor model, refer to the contactor's instruction manual.
The ABB RC5-1/250 Surge Suppressor operates passively and requires no user interaction once installed. It continuously monitors the control circuit for transient overvoltages and diverts excess energy to protect the connected equipment.
Its operation is automatic and transparent to the user. The suppressor functions as a protective device, activating only when a voltage spike occurs. There are no indicators or controls on the suppressor itself.
The ABB RC5-1/250 Surge Suppressor is a maintenance-free device. Regular inspection of the electrical system it protects is recommended.
Pred kakršnim koli pregledom ali vzdrževanjem vedno izklopite napajanje.
