Surge Protection Made Simple™ for LV Control Applications
UL Type 4 BSP LV Control Series for 24Vac/dc to 230Vac/dc LV Systems
Description
The Bussmann UL Type 4 component assembly for use in Type 3 applications
24Vac/dc, 48Vac/dc, 60Vac/dc, 120Vac/dc and 230Vac/dc, two-pole, modular
surge arresters feature local, easy ID™ visual indication and optional remote
contact signaling. The unique module locking system fixes the protection module to the base part. Modules can be easily replaced without tools by simply
depressing the release buttons. Integrated mechanical coding between the
base and protection module ensures against installing an incorrect replacement module.
LV Control System Arresters
The features of these two-pole devices are for use in coordination with other
upstream SPDs in UL 508A Applications*.
• Surge arrester according to UL 1449 3rdEdition,
Type 4 Component Assembly for use in Type 3 applications helps meet UL
508A requirements
• Proven MOV and GDT hybrid technology for reliable surge protection
• "Thermo Dynamic Control" SPD monitoring device ensures high reliability
against surge events
• Module locking system with module release button make module
replacement easy without tools
• Optional remote signaling of all protection modules make status monitoring
easy and accurate in any monitoring scheme
• Vibration and shock tested according to EN 60068-2 to withstand harsh
environments
Optional Remote Signaling Contact
The remote signaling contact versions have a floating changeover contact for
use as a break or make contact for easy adoption in any monitoring
application.
