Times Protect LP-BTR surge arrestor
17 April, 2012The Times Protect LP-BTR high performance surge arrestor series addresses applications in the 200-1000 MHz spectrum. The DC blocking technology employed in this design provides optimum isolation of the antenna port from the protected equipment port for maximum surge protection.
Surge protection standards
29 March, 2012 by Mike J Hale, Surge Protection Engineering and Product Manager, Eaton Corporation, Australia & New ZealandCurrently in Australia, there is no regulated surge protection standard. It is not compulsory to fit surge protection. This means that your electrical equipment may be relying on the upstream protection that simply doesn’t exist to do most of the work in handling harmful surge events. Installing surge protection before your electrical equipment also makes sound economic sense as it increases the longevity of your investment. The cost is really small compared to your investment.

Surge protection - the what, how and why
30 September, 2011There are various terms used to describe surge protective devices (SPDs), such as arrestors, lightning arrestors, surge arrestors, transient voltage surge suppressors (TVSS), surge diverters and surge protectors. The term surge filter or surge reduction filter usually refers to a series surge protector. However, all series-connected SPDs are not surge reduction filters. This article will explain the purpose and the operation of SPDs and the key selection criterion for selecting and specifying an SPD.
Schneider Electric Quick PRD surge protector
16 September, 2011 byThe Quick PRD surge protector provides protection against induced or conducted surges resulting from indirect lighting strikes. The product features remote end-of-life signalling and requires limited maintenance. It is simple to install with an easy-to-earth terminal and it can be installed directly into the switchboard frame.
