Surge Protection Made Simple™ for Wind Power Applications
IEC Class II Surge Arrester for 230, 400 and 690 Volt, TNC Systems
Description
The Cooper Bussmann® IEC Class II 230, 400 and 690 volt three-pole,
modular surge arresters feature local, easy ID™ visual indication and optional
remote contact signaling. The unique module locking system fixes the
protection module to the base part. Modules can be easily replaced without
tools by simply depressing the release buttons. Integrated mechanical coding
between the base and protection module ensures against installing an
incorrect replacement module.
