Product Features

Strong Direct Lightning Withstand Capability

Energy dissipation capacity and thermal capacity far exceed ordinary metal oxide varistor (MOV), can withstand up to 50kA impulse current (10/350us waveform, Iimp), perfectly meeting T1 class protection strict requirements for direct lightning strike partial-point energy discharge.

Intrinsically Safe, No Fire Risk

After Discharge, Effectively Cuts Off Power-Frequency Follow Current,Fundamentally Avoids Due to SPD degradation Short-Circuit Causing Thermal Runaway and Fire Risk,Protects Power Distribution System Secure Operation.

Modular Plug-in Design

Acquisition Uses Module and Socket Separation Design, Protection Module Can Be Separately Thermally Replaced After Failure, No Need to Stop Electrical or Disassemble Wiring, Reducing Maintenance Cost and Time.

High-Performance Density Design

In ultra-compact 72mm width, integrates T1 class full protection circuit. 275V, 2.5kV Up value, small size with large performance, and micro-type break channel device dimension phase imitation.

Long Lifespan, Slow degradation

Petrochemical-grade material resists electrical arc and impulse, performance parameters remain stable after multi-order actions, with lifespan and reliability higher than conventional devices, protection cost lower.

Fast Response, Low Residual voltage

Response time ≤100ns, can act fast at the early uprising stage of overvoltage wave. Voltage Protection Level (Up) as low as 2.5kV, providing fine protection for UPS, servers, PLC and other devices.
