Leading The Nation Towards Electrical Safety Effortless Surge Protection device Prevents From Over Voltage of LED Lighting LED lights are used for street lighting. They are becoming increasingly popular due to their light intensity, their energy efficiency and their robustness. Since the LED lights consumes 70% less energy than the conventional lighting but still generating the same luminous power as legacy lighting sources. They make a valuable contribution in the reduction of energy costs. Nevertheless this attractive technology has an important weakness that its sensitivity to transient voltages created by lightning or by power switch operations on AC network. They are directly exposed to all weather conditions and therefore they are at risk in two ways: - From lightning and from surge voltages. As a result, LED modules undergo faster aging and thus reduce service life. LED driver and control interfaces can also suffer failure. So, the replacement of defective components increases the overall cost.
Leading The Nation Towards Electrical Safety In order to protect outdoor LED lighting from failure, the LED surge protection device is required for safe operation and used to protect the luminary. Lightning strikes directly on the street lights and create high energy pulses that cannot be conducted away from the luminaries with reasonable effort. The LED surge protectors are based on highly advanced technology to ensure the best protection shield and improving the expectancy life of LED lighting. It is a combination of varistors and gas discharge tubes providing a protection level (Up) of 1 KV. It is a cost effective solution with an extra guarantee to the end user in terms of reliability and durability. The maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc) of LED surge protector is 275 V and it’s nominal voltage (Un) is 230 V. This solution is reliable for all network configurations and all voltages (including IT systems). The maximum discharge surge current (Imax) is 10 KA (8/20µs) and the nominal discharge surge current (In) is 5 KA (8/20µs). Features and Benefits Compatible for both indoor and outdoor applications A compact solution which can fit in any luminaries Ensures continuity of service Extends the life of the lights Cost effective protection device Easy to install and hence flexible mounting Fast response time High electrical strength
