Allen-Bradley 100-FSV136 Surge Suppressor Module
The Allen-Bradley 100-FSV136, also cataloged as the 100-FSV136 Surge Suppressor Module, operates as a dedicated hardware component for transient voltage clamping and coil protection within control relay and contactor circuits. Mounted directly across control coil terminals, it suppresses inductive voltage spikes produced during coil de-energization to protect solid-state digital outputs and backplane bus communication velocity across Allen-Bradley control platforms.
Hardware Specifications
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|

EtherNet/IP Deterministic Network Protection and I/O Density Scaling
Engineered to prevent high-voltage electrical fast transients (EFT) from entering local control wiring, the module maintains signal integrity across dense control panels. By clamping inductive voltage spikes right at the source, it protects low-voltage I/O density scaling architectures, preventing corruption of EtherNet/IP deterministic networks and ensuring backplane bus communication velocity remains uninterrupted during high-frequency contactor switching routines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the 100-FSV136 surge suppressor increase contactor drop-out time?
A: Varistor-based surge suppressors like the 100-FSV136 clamp peak overshoot voltages while adding negligible delay (typically under a few milliseconds) to contactor release times compared to standard diode suppressors.
Q: Can the 100-FSV136 module be used on both AC and DC control circuits?
A: Yes, the integrated varistor network operates bidirectionally, supporting operating voltage ranges of 56 to 136 VAC (50/60 Hz) and 78 to 180 VDC.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Isolate all control power and main line voltage before accessing contactor coil terminals.
- Snap the 100-FSV136 module directly onto the front or top coil interface of the compatible Allen-Bradley contactor.
- Ensure the module terminal pins fully engage the contactor coil screw clamp terminals.
- Tighten coil connection screws to the contactor manufacturer's recommended torque specifications.
- Verify that control wiring is clear of moving mechanical armatures before reapplying operating voltage.
