Joslyn (Goleta, CA) announced its SurgeBan transient suppression system, which prevents costly equipment damage, data corruption and downtime caused by electrical transients. It is the industry’s first and only suppression system with fail-safe modules, according to the company. SurgeBan’s modular design makes it a versatile and convenient surge protection system for telecommunications applications.
SurgeBan meets the telecommunications industry’s requirement for fail-safe protection. An individual thermal cut-off on each metal oxide varistor (MOV) protects against temporary over-voltage conditions and ensures clean end-of-life performance. During a sustained over-voltage event, SurgeBan goes off-line to deliver fail-safe performance.
SurgeBan is life-cycle tested with 2,500 surges at 20kV and 10kA and single-pulse
surge current tested with less than 10 percent deviation in let-through voltage.
Up to seven modes of protection are available with a choice of four suppression technology combinations: MOV, MOV/filter hybrid, MOV/silicon avalanche diode (SAD) hybrid, and MOV/SAD/filter hybrid. Models are available in 50kA to 400kA per phase surge-current capacity in these power configurations: single-phase and split-phase; three-phase WYE; and three-phase DELTA.
SurgeBan’s standard 10-year warranty can be extended to 15 years. SurgeBan fully meets NEMA LS-1 2.2.9; Telcordia (Bellcore); UL 1449 Listed, 2nd Edition; cUL; CE low voltage; and EMC directives.
