Strain gauge bridges are very sensitive to over-voltages and are easily damaged by surges and transients. The load-cell protection device provides protection to load-cells from lightning induced transients.

The Critec LCP is well suited to the protection of measuring cells on industrial cranes, which are prime targets for lightning strikes.

Features:
Designed for 4 or 6 wire systems
Suitable for compression or tension cells
Low capacitance - avoids ground loop problems
Simple installation
IP-55 rated
Protects against excitation over-voltage

Applications:
Load, plate and tension cells
Strain gauges, tensiometers and load pins
Cranes
Weigh bridges (quarries, cement suppliers, grain merchants, transportation enforcement authorities)
