When selecting a surge diverter for industrial or commercial applications, it's crucial to consider the technical specifications that align with your operational needs. This particular surge diverter is designed to offer robust protection against voltage spikes, ensuring the safety and longevity of your electrical systems.
Rated at 550 VAC and capable of handling a current up to 100 kA, this device provides a reliable shield against significant electrical surges. Its shunt connection type allows for efficient diversion of excess voltage away from sensitive equipment. The degree of protection is rated at IP20, making it suitable for indoor environments where exposure to dust and moisture is minimal.
Installation is straightforward thanks to its fuse base mounting type. With dimensions measuring 57 mm in width, 214 mm in height, and 162 mm in depth, it offers a compact solution without compromising on performance. Weighing in at just 2 kg, it's manageable during installation or maintenance tasks.
Constructed from durable ABS and ceramic materials, this surge diverter can withstand harsh conditions while maintaining optimal performance over time. It operates effectively within an impressive temperature range from -40°C to 70°C, accommodating various environmental challenges typical in Australia’s diverse climate zones.
The device meets rigorous standards including IEC 61643-11 Class I, AS/NZS 1768 Category C, and IEEE C62.41 Category C approvals—ensuring compliance with international and local safety requirements. Its response time is less than 5 ns which means it reacts almost instantaneously to protect your equipment from sudden surges.
With a humidity tolerance ranging between 5% and 95%, this unit can function reliably even in fluctuating atmospheric conditions. The tightening torque specification of 2.5 N-m ensures secure connections during installation—critical for maintaining system integrity under load.
Additionally, the voltage protection level stands at an effective threshold of 1.6 kV providing adequate defense against transient overvoltages typically encountered in industrial settings. It offers L-PE modes of protection which are essential for safeguarding line-to-earth connections—a common requirement across many electrical installations.
In summary, this surge diverter combines practicality with high-performance specifications tailored for demanding environments found across Australian industries—from manufacturing plants to commercial facilities—making it an integral component for any serious power management strategy.
