Electro
Industries Introduces the EI-MSB10-400
Surge Protector for Your Critical Substation Instrumentation
November 4,
2008
Publicity Release
Westbury, NY -Electro Industries,
one of the most innovative power monitoring manufacturers,
introduces the EI-MSB10-400 substation surge protector.
This product is designed to protect sensitive
substation instrumentation equipment from the
damaging effects of lightning strikes and/or electrical
switching surges such as breaker operations, reclosing
events, etc. The unit protects critical instrumentation
in both AC networks up to 320VAC (L-N / L-G),
and DC networks up to 400 VDC. The EI-MSB10-400
protects substation equipment from dangerous spikes
and transients by absorbing the event with a multi-stage
transient suppression scheme, before critical
equipment is reached.
The EI-MSB10-400 is ideally suited to protect
relays, meters, panel alarms, telemetry or any
other critical substation equipment. The unit
provides an indication LED which provides indication
that the surge suppressor MOVs are exhausted and
that the unit needs replacing. Essential to significantly
improve equipment reliability, this unit is disposable
and very low cost and can be easily mounted on
a wall or plate with self-adhesive tape and replaced
as needed.
The EI-MSB10-400 is also:
- Fully
compliant with IEC 61643-1 and EN61643-11, Class
2 or Class 3 Test
-
Designed to show when unit needs replacement.
The EI-MSB10-400 has an LED to provide a replacement
alert:
- When the LED is On, the EI-MSB10-400 is in
normal operation and is providing surge protection
- When the LED is Off, the EI-MSB10-400 needs
to be replaced.
