Surge protection and power products

Clearview Air Gap Arresters for Electrical Circuits (Standard Duty) have a significant safety factor against shorting because of the open tooth discharge point electrode design. Operating on 0 – 50 VDC for use on all low voltage signal circuits and 0 – 175 VAC for 115 VAC power circuits, the unit has a consistent breakdown voltage of 700 – 1,000 volts. Clearly marked with CLEARVIEW stamped on the mounting leg for identification and protected with a clear Lexan cap: it easily mounts to racks, panels and/or bars due to standard 2 3/8” mounting centers. There are also Clearcomm Air Gap Arresters (Standard Duty) available for Communication Circuits.

Please refer to our catalog for technical details as well as all available dimensions and options for the different models.

Clearview Air Gap Arresters for Electrical Circuits (Heavy Duty) have a significant safety factor against shorting because the discharge unit has circular rather than point discharge electrodes. Operating on 0 – 50 VDC for use on all low voltage signal circuits and 0 – 175 VAC for 115 VAC power circuits, the unit has a consistent breakdown voltage of 700 – 1,000 volts. Clearly marked with CLEARVIEW HD stamped on the mounting leg for identification and protected with a clear Lexan cap: it easily mounts to racks, panels and/or bars due to standard 2 3/8” mounting centers.

The Model 701-1 Shunt type heavy duty arrester for AC power lines is applied across incoming AC power leads and is designed to shunt the surge and recover to normal under full AC power.

No fuses or disconnects are required to protect this arrester. For supply transformers up to 1 KVA at 115 VAC, the transformer provides adequate series reactance to limit follow-through current. For capacities greater than 1 KVA at 115 VAC, two 701-1 protectors must be used in series to limit current so that the protectors can recover after a surge.

This unit has a 1,000 V breakdown between its terminals. The Siemens AC Power Line Protector, model 701-1, can be supplied either as a single unit for mounting on 3 1/8 inch centers, or mounted on a phenolic base. The Model 701-1 protector is the same protector as used on the AC Line Surge Protection Networks; therefore, this unit may be used as a direct replacement part for those networks. For 230 VAC systems, two 701-1 protectors must be used in series.

Siemens manufactures a number of surge suppression panels for both general and specific applications. The 44883 Series of vertical surge panels is available in a variety of configurations to meet specific client requirements. Each panel in this series is silkscreened to anticipate a variety of general purpose applications, but does not come equipped with any Clearview Air Gap Arrester or Equalizers. The A80026 Series of track and battery surge panels is also available in a variety of configurations to meet specific client requirements. However, each panel in this series does come equipped with a Clearview Air Gap Arrester and Equalizers. A91170 and A91181 lighting panels provide external I/O primary surge protection for grade crossing gate controller circuitry. Both have built-in secondary surge protection for all external I/O.

The SSP Series is a closed circuit shunt type protector designed to trigger at the marked specified voltage to provide the desired protection for solid state equipment. Maximum steady state voltage (DC) will “clamp” on higher voltages after triggering.

The SP-17 Solid State Battery Line Surge Protector Series is designed to provide solid state equipment protection for devices using DC power and to provide protection against AC power line surges. Enclosed in gray plastic resin housing with cover: it comes equipped with AAR binding posts, beveled washers, and binding nuts for quick and simple installation. Designed with either an 18 VDC or 32 VDC TranZorb diode. Some models also are equipped with an equalizer for maximum equipment protection of 18V and 1.5A.

The SP-24 Solid State Battery Line Surge Protector Series is designed to provide solid state equipment protection for devices using DC power and to provide protection against AC power line surges. Enclosed in cream white steel housing with cover: it comes equipped with AAR binding posts, beveled washers, and binding nuts for quick and simple installation. Designed with either an 18 VDC or 32 VDC TranZorb diode. Some models also are equipped with an equalizer for maximum equipment protection of 18V and 25A.

The SP-21 Solid State Code Line Surge Protector Series is designed to provide solid state equipment protection for communication devices. Enclosed in gray plastic resin housing with cover: it comes equipped with AAR binding posts, beveled washers, and binding nuts for quick and simple installation. Some models also are equipped with either a Clearview Air Gap Arresters for Electrical Circuits or Clearview Air Gap Arresters for Communication Circuits as well as a SSP-11 Solid State Surge Protector.

The SP-15 and SP-26 Solid State Track Circuit Surge Protector Series is designed to provide solid state equipment protection for track circuit devices. Enclosed in gray plastic resin housing with cover: it comes equipped with AAR binding posts, beveled washers, and binding nuts for quick and simple installation. Some models also are equipped with a Clearview Air Gap Equalizer or a SSP-11 Solid State Surge Protector.
