Electronic Systems Protection furse

ESP 415 M2 & ESP 415 M4 Protectors with extra high maximum surge currents, for mains power supplies

For customers who demand a protector rated for a maximum surge current greatly in excess of the probable worst case (BS 6651, IEEE C62.41).
Suitable for three phase (346-484V) supplies, whatever their supply current.
For a maximum surge current rating of 60kA (unit total 240kA) use ESP 415 M2.
For a maximum surge current rating of 120kA (unit total 480kA) use ESP 415 M4.

The, lower cost, ESP 415 M1 has a maximum surge current of 30kA (120kA unit total) and is suitable for use on most three phase (346-484V) supplies. Protectors for single phase and other voltage supplies can be found here. If your supply is fused at 16 amps, or less, the protectors here may be more suitable (Note these have a lower maximum surge current of 10kA).

Application

Use these units at the main low voltage distribution board for extra high surge current protection. Typical uses include the protection of:

computer equipment
transmitter/receiver systems
uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
drives and inverters
programmable logic controllers (PLC)
medical equipment

Features and benefits

Designed to protect and survive in lightning intense environments.

Very low let-through voltage restricts dangerous transient overvoltages to below the damage levels of equipment circuitry.

Protection between all sets of conductors (phase to neutral, phase to earth and neutral to earth) ensures total protection, closing all transient paths to equipment.

Extra high maximum surge current of 60kA (240kA unit total ) for ESP 415 M2 and 120kA (480kA unit total) for ESP 415 M4.

Repeated protection in lightning intense environments with 20 years predicted lifetime.

Innovative new Sovtrip™ multiple thermal disconnect technology, anticipates standards authorities future demands, for safe disconnection from faulty or abnormal supplies (without compromising protective performance).

ESP 415 M2

Three way visual indication of protection status.

Advanced pre-failure warning so you need never be unprotected.

Remote indication facility allows pre-failure warning to be linked to a building management system, buzzer or light.

Changeover active volt free contact enables the protector to be used to warn of phase loss (ie power failure, blown fuses etc).

Unique flashing warning of potentially fatal neutral to earth supply faults (caused by incorrect earthing, wiring errors or unbalanced conditions).

Robust steel housing.

Simple parallel connection.

Protector base provides ultra low inductance earth bond to metal panels.

Convenient holes for flat mounting.

Compact size for installation in the power distribution board.

Straightforward, comprehensive installation instructions with every unit.

Maintenance free.

5 year warranty.
