The
HULK is a family of MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) based
hardwired Secondary Surge Arresters, often referred to as
Lightning Arresters. These devices are designed to protect
electrical equipment from damaging effects of Spikes (+) and
Notches (-) caused by lightning, utility switching, insulation
arcing, electrical motor cycling, and other large or sudden
changes in electrical power flow on incoming AC power lines.
They are
available in a variety of configurations ranging from 120
volt single pole two wire applications through 480 volt three
phase four wire installations. The epoxy encapsulated arrester
is designed to be easily installed in any position indoors
or outdoors utilizing the integral 1/2" NPT threaded
nipple and supplied metal lock nut.
The housing
is molded from flame retarding plastic that is both weather
and UV resistant, and complies with the UL standard for strength
and flame resistance properties. The arrester is sealed with
UL component-recognized epoxy potting compound, and provides
18" long, 12 AWG multi-stranded lead wires that are color
coded for ease of installation.
FEATURES
These
arresters provide ideal protection for outdoor lighting and
pole lamps, panelboards, oilfield pumps, workshops, irrigation
and sump pumps, refrigeration systems, farm equipment including
milking machines and poultry processing equipment, electric
motors and controls, heat pumps and air conditioning equipment
and many other electrical devices.
The HVPSI
family of lightning arresters utilizes a single MOV per pole
to reduce the potential load balancing/sharing problems during
operation. Installed at the Service Entrance Panel (Circuit
Breaker Panel) the arrester provides complete protection to
all equipment installed to the panel. The arrester may also
be installed directly to the equipment to be protected.
