Reliable Protection for Electrical Equipment
Transient overvoltages can be generated by indirect lightning activity, utility switching operations and the operation of inductive electrical loads. Although these voltage spikes are extremely brief, they can damage drives, power supplies, controllers, communication equipment and other sensitive electronic components.
The Mersen Surge-Trap K2 series diverts damaging surge currents away from connected equipment. Its high discharge capacity, visual condition indicator and replaceable protection cartridge help improve electrical system reliability while reducing the risk of equipment damage, unexpected downtime and expensive repairs.
Typical Applications
- Commercial and industrial distribution boards.
- Electrical control panels and switchgear assemblies.
- Manufacturing machinery and production equipment.
- Building-management and industrial automation systems.
- Variable-speed drives, PLCs and electronic power supplies.
- Secondary surge protection in low-voltage installations.
