Description
The Cooper Bussmann IEC Class II 75, 230, 400, 690 and 1000 volt, onepole, modular surge arresters feature local,
easy
ID™ visual indication and
optional remote contact signaling. The unique module locking system on the
75 to 690 volt arresters 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.
TN System Arresters (also 1-Phase TT systems)
The features of these single-pole devices are for use as a single device or in
combination with other devices.
TT System Arrester
Provides a current arresting means between neutral conductor and protective
conductor in TT systems, this device helps ensure fulfilling the requirements
for protection of personnel and equipment in “3+1” and “1+1” circuits.
Remote Signaling Contact
The three-pole terminal remote signaling contact versions have a floating
changeover contact for use as a break or make contact, according to circuit
concept.
