MH-230A

Lightning Surge Protectors for
Electronics Equipment M-RESTER

LIGHTNING SURGE PROTECTOR FOR POWER SUPPLY USE

(30 A, 200 V / 220 V / 240 V AC)
Functions & Features
• Designed specifically for power requirements of medium capacities
• Protecting electronic equipment from lightning surges that enter through substations and step-down transformers
• Discharge element failure triggers the fuse blown and alarm contact closed
• Also effective in rejecting switching transients generated by thyristors, circuit breakers, motor starters, etc.
Typical Applications
• Control panels
• Telemetering systems
