Raycap Surge Protection Devices
Raycap Inc., a leader in transient voltage surge suppression technology, has developed a surge protection device (SPDs) that provides continuous protection from over-voltage and other transient voltage activity for industrial equipment such as variable speed drives, programmable logic controls and power cabinets.
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 2nd Edition - dated February 7, 2007 - without the use of internal fuses. Fuses used in other surge protection devices 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.
Unlike other SPD systems that employ parallel arrays of smaller conventional metal oxide varistors (MOVs) or silicon avalanche diodes (SADs), 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.
