Original Press Release:
Protection Against Voltage Spikes that Can Destroy Industrial Electronics
ST. LOUIS-A voltage spike could cripple production or destroy expensive industrial electronics in an instant. Surges are common to all electrical systems, and usually cause slow degradation. The question is not if you will have surge problems, but when.
The Cooper Bussmann® Surge³ SPD protects complex, digital technology in an incredible response time of five nanoseconds. The housing for the Surge³, based on the CUBEFuse(TM) platform, allows for simple yet effective installation to protect PLC, HMI/VCP (video control panel), PID controllers, industrial computers, variable speed drive, and vision systems.
It is available in two versions-MOV and Diode-both interchangeable with a plug-in suppressor and common base mount. MOV protection, most recognized in the industry, is an
economical way to suppress transients. Diode protection is state-of-the-art technology for protection of critical equipment. It never breaks down. Bussmann uses computer matched, high power cell diodes in an advanced diode array. This design offers low clamping with high surge current ratings.
The Surge³ system is color coded for proper installation. All suppressors and bases are labeled with specific voltage colors. Matching the color helps achieve the proper selection of appropriate initial and replacement components. The 120v model has a current rating of 7kA1 and a voltage protection level of 292V peak. Surge³ is UL recognized.
