Description of the AC Surge Protection
An AC Surge Protection (EKU5-T2-40-2P275) is a crucial safety mechanism designed to protect electrical systems and appliances from voltage spikes and transient surges caused by lightning, power grid fluctuations, or switching operations. Surge protection devices (SPDs) absorb and redirect excess voltage, preventing damage to sensitive electronics, household appliances, industrial equipment, and solar inverters.
Detailed Features
- Voltage Spike Protection – Prevents sudden power surges from damaging electrical systems.
- Fast Response Time – Reacts instantly to surges, minimizing the impact on connected devices.
- Multiple Protection Levels – Available in different categories (Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3) for comprehensive protection.
- Thermal Disconnection Mechanism – Ensures safe operation by disconnecting faulty surge protectors.
- LED Indicators – Provides status updates for monitoring surge protection functionality.
- Compact & Durable Design – Easily installed in distribution boards for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
