Call for Price

Introducing the TES 240R Surge Arrester, installed at wattmeter, service entry or weatherhead locations for residential and light industrial applications. The TES 240R Surge Arrester is specifically designed for long lifetimes even with strong lightning activity and temporary line overvoltage conditions. A tough Surge Arrester for tough line conditions.

Applications
120 VAC-240 VAC Surge Arrester for residential and light industrial usage. Installed at heating and air conditioning system units, safely clamps and dissipates lightning induced AC line high voltage current impulses going to a residence, apartment or light industrial building. Also protects against AC line temporary overvoltage conditions.

End of Life Failure Mode
While in overvoltage induced thermal runaway, apply 7 KA at 120 VAC. Surge arrester must fail safe without
faulting the AC line. No arcing allowed.

Surge arrester fails safe– surge element punctures, safety fuse opens, LED turns off, no fire, slight puff of smoke out connector wiring opening. AC line not faulted. No arcing.
