Surge Arrester
Surge arrester module for plug-on load center panel mounting is simple to
install. Designed to fit Westinghouse type BR Load Centers requiring two 1 inch
adjacent pole spaces. Installation is completed by connecting the single white wire
to the panel's neutral bar. This one device will protect your entire downstream
electrical system although surge protectors are still recommended at sensitive appliances,
electronic equipment and computers. Designed for use on single-phase, three-wire
120/240 Vac electrical services. Uses metal oxide varistor (MOV) design to arrest
voltage surges with a low resistance path line-to-line, or line-to-neutral, or
line-to-ground while providing a high resistance path to the 50/60 Hz power source.
The MOV responds faster and has a lower clamping voltage than comparable gapped
arresters. Individual non-replaceable internal fuse links protect each MOV and open
in the event of a surge that damages an MOV. The LED on the face of the unit
indicates operational status of the arrester. If the light is on the unit is fully
operational. When the LED indicator goes off, the unit should be replaced.
This item is UL Listed for use with Westinghouse type BR load center panels but will also
fit many other manufacturers' load center panels that accept standard interchangeable 1
inch breakers. Suitable for use in service entrance locations and meets the
requirements of NEC Article 280.
