Surge Protection

Transient overvoltages are large, very brief and potentially destructive increases in voltage

Transient overvoltages (also known as surges) can be caused by the secondary effects of a lightning strike (up to a kilometre away) and the electrical switching of large inductive loads (such as motors and transformers).

Even though they only last thousandths or millionths of a second, transient overvoltages can devastate modern electronic systems:
• disrupting system operations
• degrading equipment components
• destroying components and circuit boards, and
• causing costly and unnecessary downtime.

Effective protection against damaging transient overvoltages is available with Furse ESP range of transient overvoltage protectors.

A wide range of protectors are available for use on:
• mains power supplies
• data and telecoms equipment
• computer networks, and
• RF, CCTV, rail and CATV systems

The Furse ESP range of transient overvoltage protectors provide repeated protection in lightning intense environments, are simple to install and maintenance free.
