Surge Series Lightning & Transient Protector
Used to divert transients to ground, increasing installed system reliability.
 |
Wiring, particularly long horizontal wiring, can convert transient electrical fields to destructive voltages at sensors and data logger terminals.
The ELLP4501 transient protector is a multi-stage device which is capable of protecting against high speed (100 volts per microsecond) transients of up to 20,000 amps, letting only 77 volts through before clamping to 4 volts.
Features:
 |
Protects against high-speed transients of up to 20,000 amps |
|
Low resistance in dormant state |
|
Self re-setting for uninterrupted operation after transient completed |
|
Compatible with most devices, including VW sensors, data loggers, 4-20 mA transmitters and other DC-powered sensors* |
|
Compact user-friendly devices |
|
*For continuously powered DC devices, a fuse in series with the DC supply is recommended |
