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.

Powerware PVL Features

  • SurgePlane™ technology to ensure reliability and performance by using a low impedance copper platform
  • Compact design that enables close mounting to electrical distribution equipment
  • Parallel hybrid filter technology
  • Individually fused surge suppression components
  • Status indicator lights to monitor supply power, surge suppression component status, and fusing
  • Remote monitoring capability using Form C contacts
  • Audible alarm
  • Ideal for OEM panel applications
  • Proven track record in international applications
  • Independently tested at lightning laboratories to verify published surge current ratings
  • UL 1449 Second Edition Listed, UL 1283 Listed, CSA Approved, CE Marked
