TES 240MSA

 

Watt Hour Meter Base Surge Arrester

Applications

120 VAC - 240 VAC Surge Arrester for residential and light industrial usage. Installed at wattmeter, safely clamps and dissipates lightning induced AC line high voltage current impulses going to a residence, apartment or a light industrial building.

 

Description

Introducing the TES 240 MSA Surge Arrester, installed at wattmeter, locations for residential and light industrial applications. The TES 240 MSA Surge Arrester is specifically designed for long lifetimes even with strong lightning activity and temporary line overvoltage conditions. A tough Surge Arrester for tough line conditions..

 

Features

  • 40,000 Amp peak capability, each VAC leg

  • 210 VAC, continuous 5 minutes, temporary overvoltage clamping capability.

  • Lowest, reliable voltage clamping level

  • Safety fusing, both 120 VAC legs, patented

  • LED "unit good" indicators, both 120 VAC legs

  • Fire proof and explosion proof polycarbonate glass-fiber reinforcement enclosed with matching mounting connector

  • Sealed units except for mounting connector wiring opening

  • For less inductance, #10 AWG tinned wires.

  • Competitive pricing
