Versatile Surge Suppression System Is Compact And Easy To Service
New PowerVantage™ surge suppression products from LEA International are designed to meet today's needs for low clamp and over-voltage capabilities – all in a compact and easy to work with package.
The PowerVantage™ unit features low clamp modules (LCMs) that use a patented MOV design, delivering both low clamp and over-voltage capabilities. The LCMs meet industry standards for sensitive load applications. Enhanced diagnostics are provided and the system has been designed to be easy to service, featuring field-upgradeable LCMs.
Housed in a 24 x 16 x 8.8 inch enclosure, the PowerVantage™ uses colour-coded, field-replaceable modules, allowing surge capacity to be upgraded from 200kA to 600kA. The LCMs are colour-coded, compact modules with two simple attaching screws and are therefore simple to bolt-on for a quick service.
A standard, user-friendly digital readout on the PowerVantage™ system features a touch pad interface which provides enhanced diagnostics including a surge counter and audible alarm. The surge counter has a reset button and battery back-up feature while the audible alarm is equipped with a disable and enable switch and a red failure light. The system also includes a green-to-red failure light, for monitoring the suppression elements; phase monitor lights, to ensure the correct power per phase; and redundant status monitoring lights (positioned outside the door).
Three models are available, the PV200, PV400 and PV600 – with surge capacities of 200kA, 400kA and 600kA per phase, respectively. The system is also available in a number of voltage configurations. The electrical specifications include a nominal operating voltage of 120 to 600VAC, frequency range of 47 to 63Hz and response time of 1ns.
The PowerVantage™ system is available in Nema 4 and Nema 12-rated enclosures. It conforms to a number of industry standards including UL 1449 and UL 1283. LEA's commitment to quality and safety is backed by a 10-year unconditional warranty on purchases of the PowerVantage™ product.
PowerVantage™ surge suppressors are affordably priced from $2600, depending on the configuration.
