February 16, 2012 – Cooper Bussmann introduced UL DIN-Rail surge protective devices (SPD) that deliver comprehensive UL 1449 3rd Edition recognized overvoltage protection. The UL SPDs feature modular DIN-Rail design with color coding, which makes it easy to install the right module. Finger-safe construction improves electrical safety, while a rejection feature assures system integrity by preventing misapplication of SPD modules. Vibration and shock resistance according to EN 60068-2 are ideal for harsher conditions present in mining and oil and gas applications. For the end-user, specifying the right surge protective device to prevent damage from overvoltage events has never been easier. Customers can simply select the wiring system and system voltage to be confident of getting the right solution backed by an industry-leading five year limited warranty. Once installed, users can rely on easyID local visual indication and optional remote contact signaling to monitor module status. Available with Short-Circuit Current Ratings (SCCR) up to 200kA, the new SPDs are ideal for UL 508A panel shops looking to achieve high assembly SCCR ratings.
