Advance-Galatrek Offers StrikeSafe TVSS

Advance-Galatrek (UK) announced its new StrikeSafe DIN-rail compatible transient voltage surge suppressors (TVSS), which are designed to clip directly onto the universal DIN-rail mount format tracking used within many control and distribution cabinets. Providing compact protection, the new units are suitable for protecting either single- or three-phase mains supplies from the detrimental effects of harmful voltage surges.

Every model in Advance-Galatrek's StrikeSafe TVSS range uses the latest patent-pending matrix technology, providing transient protection to competitor TVSS devices and enabling the TVSS to continue functioning in accordance with its specification, even if a voltage surge damages an individual component. Each TVSS module features LEDs that warn of a fault condition within the unit, and which provide a quick visual inspection of potential problems.

StrikeSafe is available either as a metal-oxide-varistor-based (MOV)

device, or as a combination of MOVs and silicon avalanche diodes (SADs). The MOV-only format provides a price-conscious solution to the problems caused by surges in the voltage supply.
