About Industrial Surge Protectors
Citel Industrial Surge Protectors
Industrial surge protectors are devices used to protect electronic components from power surges or spikes in electrical currents. These surges can occur due to lightning strikes, power outages, or fluctuations in the power grid. The purpose of a surge protector is to divert the excess voltage away from the electronic device and prevent it from getting damaged.Industrial surge protectors work by using a metal oxide varistor (MOV) or gas discharge tube (GDT) to absorb and redirect the excess voltage. They also have protective components such as fuses and thermal switches to prevent overheating and fire hazards.These devices are especially important in industrial settings where sensitive electronic components are used, such as in manufacturing plants, data centers, and telecom facilities. A power surge can cause permanent damage to expensive equipment, leading to costly repairs and downtime.In summary, industrial surge protectors are essential in safeguarding electronic components from power surges, ensuring uninterrupted operation and preventing financial losses.
