The Strikesorb transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS) module provides uninterrupted protection from surge currents of up to 200kA. In addition, the module meets the requirements of the recently revised UL-1449 (2nd edition) standard without resorting to the use of internal fuses
The Strikesorb transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS) module provides uninterrupted protection from surge currents of up to 200kA. In addition, the module meets the requirements of the recently revised UL-1449 (2nd edition) standard without resorting to the use of internal fuses. According to the company, its unique construction — comprised of a single large distribution-grade metal oxide varistor (MOV) disc (80-mm in diameter) in a hermetic aluminum housing — provides uniform distribution of the surge current over the total area of the MOV protection element, resulting in a high-energy handling capability combined with ultralow let-through voltage to the protected equipment.
