A frequent cause of
electrical/electronic equipment
failure is AC power line surges.
This is especially true in the case
of sensitive electronic equipment
such as CATV systems, traffic
controllers, data processing
equipment, telecommunications
systems, etc. These power line
surges can vary from noise-like
transients to spectacular lightning
induced surges. Therefore, the
effect on costly equipment can vary
from a slow degradation of
performance to catastrophic failure.
The SPD130K solid state arrester has
been designed to effectively
dissipate high energy surges up to
130KA (8 x 20us). High energy
induced surges usually originate on
the primary side of the power
transformer and consequently are
transferred to the secondary.
The SPD130K design incorporates
patented, UL approved, high energy,
thermally fused MOVs in series with
an inductive network. The inductive
network is followed-up by a powerful
high current transient suppressor.
This configuration offers a low
clamp voltage of 296 volts on a 20KA
surge. The powerful SPD130K also
offers separate LED status
indication for each of the three
modes of protection.
