Nextek Launches Very High RF Power Transmission Lightning Arrestors
Passes DC with maximum surge transient protection of 125,000 Amps
Rugged, dustproof and waterproof
Westford, MA, October 27, 2009 - NexTek announces the High RF Power K-Series designed for protecting high power RF transmission lines of up to 50,000 Watts with a surge capability to 125,000 Amps. This new series of SurgeGuard(TM) lightning arrestors addresses the stringent demands of mission critical RF applications including the HF, VHF, and UHF frequency ranges from 0(dc) to 1000MHz.
