The Need for Surge Protection
Today’s world is full of electronic products and devices
that are susceptible to damage from overvoltage
surges.
Whether the cause is static discharge or lightning,
overvoltage surges can quickly destroy consumer
electronics or sophisticated electronic packages used
in industrial and commercial applications.
Surge protection products from Bussmann help
assure power quality that’s free from damaging surges
and overvoltage conditions.
Safe and Simple
・IP20 Finger-safe construction.
・Suppressor rejection feature make it easy to know the
suppressor system is installed and properly operating
to protect your IEC system investment.
・Simple selection of system voltage and remote
contact signaling option.
・Five year limited warranty.*
Complete Line of Surge Protection Solutions
Bussmann offers surge protection products for
PV, wind power, telecom and UL, applications.
