Raycap Surge Protective Devices (SPDs)
Raycap Inc., a leader in electrical protection technology, has developed a surge protection device (SPDs) that provides long term, continuous protection from over-voltage and other transient voltage activity for industrial equipment such as variable speed drives, programmable logic controls and power cabinets. Some of Raycap’s Strikesorb models are also engineered as Class I SPDs per IEC 61643-1, and are capable of withstanding multiple direct lightning currents.
Designated Strikesorb, the SPD modules are designed to protect equipment from lightning strikes, power surges and spikes without performance deterioration. Strikesorb modules are available in a wide range of voltage and packaging configurations to protect sensitive equipment and electronics.
Strikesorb modules meet the demanding requirements of IEC 61643-1 and UL 1449 3nd Edition:2011 without the use of internal fuses. Fuses used in other SPDs can compromise the protection capabilities of the SPD system. Strikesorb’s unique fuse less design and its capability to withstand high short-circuit currents allow direct installation on bus bars, precluding the need to install additional fuses or interconnection wires. Because Strikesorb modules provide uninterrupted protection against repeated surges in harsh environments, it can extend the operating life of the electronic equipment, as it is never left unprotected from transient activity.
Strikesorb modules are comprised of a single, large distribution-grade MOV disc in an environmentally sealed aluminum housing that provides uniform distribution of the surge current over the total area of the MOV protection element. This results in a high-energy handling capability combined with ultra-low let-through voltage to the industrial equipment.
