Surge Protection Made Simple™ for Wind Power Applications
IEC Class I Coordinated Lightning Current Arresters with High Follow Current
for 400-690 Volt, TNC, TNS & IT Systems
Description
The Cooper Bussmann® IEC Class I 400 and 690 Volt, one-pole lightning
current arresters feature local, easy ID™ visual indication and optional remote
contact signaling.
BSPS1400WE(R)
BSPS1690WER
440V and 760V maximum continuous operating voltage arresters protect
installations against surges and direct lightning strikes.
System & Application
TNC 400V/690V: 3x BSPS1400WE(R)
TNS 400/690V: 4x BSPS1400WE(R)
IT 690V: 3x BSPS1690WER
Remote Signaling Contact
The three-pole terminal remote signaling contact versions have a floating
changeover contact for use as a break or make contact, according to circuit
concept.
