High Performance Medium Voltage Surge Protectors

Medium Voltage Surge Protector

Medium Voltage Surge Protectors are not traditional Surge Arrester designs. Furthermore, these devices and applications should be considered more than just an option. In today's world of sensitive and complex electronic systems, SPDs have become a necessity at all voltages.

ANSI/IEEE classifies Medium Voltage (MV) as between 600+ and 69,000 volts. Common voltage levels in the Medium Voltage category typically range from 2,400 to 6,600 volts.

Surge Arrester manufacturers generally focus on utility distribution systems. Our MV SPDs focus on non-utility based applications. Unlike traditional Surge Arresters, High Quality, High Performance medium voltage surge protectors can be installed at or near the sensitive equipment. Direct protection in a smaller more flexible package.

MV-SPD Protection Applications:

  • Service Entrance/Distribution Panels
  • VFD/AFDs
  • Motors
  • Compressors
  • Pumps

SPD application points deliver an advantage. The closer to the equipment the better. This emphasizes the importance and value of quality MV Surge Protectors.

With tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in electrical equipment and systems, it's critically important to avoid unnecessary and preventable damage whenever and wherever possible.

Considering initial equipment investment, potential downtime, repair, replacement and other expenses related to transient damage, prevention costs pale in comparison.

Install High Quality, High Performance Surge Protectors and get the Right Results.

Medium Voltage Surge Protectors: Priceless

The ROI from installing Medium Voltage Surge Protectors can be Priceless. It's also the best surge protector option when using the Right SPD placed in the Right Location.

Example: 4160 motor rewinds can reach upwards of $100,000.00. Reducing or eliminating damaging surge activity can reduce the number of motor rewinds. At the same time, the motor is protected from catastrophic surge related events that can include:

  • Lighting Strikes
  • System Faults
  • Grid Switches

ROI from avoiding one damaged 4160 motor and/or by reducing motor rewinds annually is Priceless.

Keep operations competitive and efficient by avoiding costly damage and downtime. Get the Right Medium Voltage Surge Protector.

High Quality + High Performance SPDs

Medium Voltage Surge Arrestor

"The Most Advanced Medium Voltage Surge Protective Device Available Today."

Our Medium Voltage SPDs are parallel connected and contain the latest technology. Aided by advanced computer design, they are built for brute strength, ease of installation, safety and maximum performance.

These specialized devices are engineered to protect mission critical equipment by using a patented, compact, robust, multistage protection approach. The key advantage is our unique design. This design provides for all electrical modes to be protected using a single package.

Unlike standard arrester designs using groups of individual arresters wired into a system, our single package allows for minimized lead lengths within the SPD. This maximizes performance. Our single package design provides greater installation and application flexibility.

Designed to protect Service Entrance, Distribution Panel and Individual Equipment, our Medium Voltage SPDs are the easy choice. From advanced design to Warranty, they deliver a complete protection package.

Delta and Wye Configurations available: 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, 2,500, 3000, 3,500, 4160, 6900 and 7,200 Volts.
