Powerware PVL
Powerware PVL is our standard surge protective device (SPD) that
combines surge suppression components and EMI/RFI filtering to
provide effective protection for sensitive electronic loads. Surges
— also known as transients — due to lightning, utility
grid switching, switching of external/internal inductive or capacitive
loads and other sources travel on power line conductors throughout
the electrical distribution system, causing system operating problems
and equipment downtime.
Six surge current ratings are available to meet a variety of applications — 50,
80, 100, 120, 160, and 200 kA/phase. |
