Description

The HE300-15 surge arrestor is the first line of protection for the electronic equipment in a traffic controller cabinet.

This unit is a two-stage arrestor which can be used as a stand-alone device or in conjunction with an external line filter if required. Because the primary and secondary stages are electrically separated (line side), the addition of an external filter (HESCO/RLS model LF35, LF50 or LF60) is simple and quick.

The primary stage is designed to dissipate high-energy surges on the AC powerline while clamping at a nominal 430 volts. The primary stage provides protection from line to neutral, line to ground and neutral to ground. This feature becomes quite important at site locations where neutral must be kept isolated from earth ground inside the controller cabinet.

In addition to the primary stage's capability to sustain multiple surges of 46KA (8x20uS), the secondary stage is designed to sustain surges in excess of 20KA (8x20uS) at a maximum clamp voltage of 710 volts.

The HE300-15 surge arrestor is one of the most powerful hybrid surge arrestors available toda
