Electrical Specifications




   Maximum Surge Current:
 
     Maximum current allowed for a single impulse waveform with continuous voltage applied. This level is used to indicate the protection capacity of a particular surge suppressor design, and when specifying a suppressor for a given application. For example, in a high exposure application with very large transients present from lightning, a higher-level surge current capacity would be required.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   AC Energy Absorption:
 
     The measurement of a surge protective device's ability to absorb heat energy created by transient surges. Note that the Joule rating is not a part of IEEE or UL Standards.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Maximum AC Power:
 
     The maximum AC power that the unit can handle.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   DC Energy Absorption:
 
     The measurement of a surge protective device's ability to absorb heat energy created by transient surges. Note that the Joule rating is not a part of IEEE or UL Standards.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Maximum DC Power:
 
     The maximum DC power that the unit can handle.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
Features




           
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Hospital / Medical Grade
 
     The SPD is approved and recognized by UL as Hospital Grade or otherwise rated for medical applicaiton.  Hospital grade surge protective devices have to pass additional safety tests performed to measure leakage current.
 
   Self-Diagnostics
 
     System is able to perform internal checks to ensure it is properly grounded, powered etc.
 
   Status Indicators / LEDs
 
     LEDs can give an indication of Ground Tests, Surges, Faults etc.
 
   Resettable Circuit Breaker
 
     The SPD can trip an internal breaker to protect the device against excessive surges. The SPD can be manually reset once corrective action has been taken.
 
   Audible Alarm
 
     On occurrence of a surge, an audible alarm is activated.
 
   Sine Wave Tracking
 
     Surges are attenuated and dissipated as part of a normal power sine wave.
 
   Surge Counter
 
     A physical count of the number of surges handled by the device.
Remote alarm contacts.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Environment




   Operating Temperature:
 
     Full required range of operating temperature.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
