/ Use
The direct discharge module (MDD) allows an unbuffered discharge of the residual charges from capacitive circuits when they are powered down. This module has a U-terminal end fitting and must be paired with a suitable insulating pole according to the use and the potential voltage present during the discharge. In the appropriate case, a PPOL will be perfectly suitable.

In the case of specific circuits, particularly those with high-value capacitors and sensitive electronic components, an undamped discharge can lead to overheating and irreversible damage (explosions, fires, etc.). In these cases, it is recommended to use a module with a resistance (MDI) calculated for the application to ensure safe use.

USE ONLY IN DISCHARGE APPLICATIONS. DO NOT USE AS EARTHING OR EQUIPOTENTIAL BONDING.
