The EI-MSB10-400 is ideally suited to protect relays, meters, panel alarms, telemetry or any other critical substation equipment. The unit provides an indication LED which provides indication that the surge suppressor MOVs are exhausted and that the unit needs replacing. Essential to significantly improve equipment reliability, this unit is disposable and very low cost and can be easily mounted on a wall or plate with self-adhesive tape and replaced as needed.

The EI-MSB10-400 is also:

o Fully compliant with IEC 61643-1 and EN61643-11, Class 2 or Class 3 Test
