maxGuard offers a unique combination of electronic load monitoring and potential distribution. With the award-winning new maxGUARD system, the terminal blocks (previously installed separately) for distributing potential to the outputs of the electronic load monitors become an integral part of a 24 V DC control voltage distribution solution. This innovative new combination not only saves time during installation, it increases safety against failure and reduces the amount of space required on the terminal rail by 50%.
A key component in Weidmuller’s Klippon® Connect portfolio of products and services for panel building, the maxGUARD system saves valuable wiring time and eliminates wiring errors. The modular system adapts itself optimally to every application.

The modular maxGUARD system from Weidmuller is designed to meet specific requirements for automation control panels in all areas (including Hazardous C1D2 and IEC EX). It contains three main cross-connection channels– positive, negative and internal signaling. This design increases the number of possible contacts from the electronic load monitoring device outputs (positive and negative) into the terminal blocks, providing efficient connections for the distribution board loads, as well as reduced wiring. Integrated test points in maxGUARD’s terminals and a disconnect lever for load circuit galvanic isolation helps to simplify testing and troubleshooting.
Available in a range of single-channel and four-channel variations (both standard and conformal coating), maxGUARD provides application flexibility for custom solutions. The space-saving maxGUARD modules have a 6.1mm housing and feature push-in connection technology. The rated operating voltage is 24V DC, and the complete system has a maximum current capacity of 40A. The wide operating temperature range extends from -25°C to +55°C (without derating). The terminal cross-sections are 16mm² for the feed-in module, 2.5mm² for the electronic load monitoring (ELM), and 1.5mm² at the top and 2.5mm² at the bottom of the potential distribution terminal block. maxGUARD modules are cULus listed, Class 2 Certified (1A, 2A and 4A modules), CE rated and carry a wide range of global approvals.
