With the expanded use of switching equipment in the industrial environment, the importance of TVSS has increased. No longer is it only for the protection from lightning generated surges. These new high level control systems have become extremely sensitive to transients produced within the facility. These new controls must now be protected to provide maximum up time.

LEA International now offers the most extensive TVSS lines available. In the November 1999 Power Quality Magazine a University of Florida study confirmed the advantages of LEA's design in meeting new UL requirements. It showed the weakness of using fuses and other methods to meet new requirements.

LEA International provides Transient Voltage Surge Suppression systems from home units to series units for the most critical applications.

LEA International has been producing only the highest quality Transient Voltage Surge Suppression (TVSS) for almost 30 years. By working on only one product line and by having their own UL certified testing center, LEA can provide customers with the right answer for any problem.


Model  

Dyna-System Modular Hybrid Parallel Surge Protection Device

 

The Dyna – System (DS) is a parallel suppressor, appropriate for use at either a service entrance or a distribution panel. At the service entrance the DS provides protection against lightning or switching transients from the utility system. At a distribution panel, it provides protection against transients generated on other branch circuits within the facility. DS models suppress and filter even the highest and most damaging transients up to 450kA. DS surge suppressors do not incorporate fusing elements that restrict the unit’s ability to repetitively suppress transients up to it’s full rated surge capacity.

 


The GB is a modular unit connected in parallel with ten modes of protection. It is appropriate and rated for use at Category C3, C2 or C1 service entrance locations and all Category B distribution panel locations. Offering both common and normal mode protections, the GB provides protection against lightning, utility switching and internally generated transients. GB models suppress and filter even the highest and most damaging transients up to 600kA. GB surge suppressors do not incorporate fusing elements that restrict the unit’s ability to repetitively suppress transients up to it’s full rated surge capacity.

 


PBS Panelboard with Integral Surge Protection

The PBS is a parallel suppressor which is integral to a panelboard. It provides protection against transients from distribution panels and transients generated on other branch panels within the facility. PBS models suppress and filter damaging transients up to 300kA. They combine a linear array of protection components and high frequency filters to eliminate transient voltage and electrical line noise. The PBS is compatible with, and can be incorporated into, panelboards from all major panelboard manufacturers, including panelboard OEMs. PBS surge suppressors do not incorporate fusing elements, which would restrict the unit’s ability to repetitively suppress transients up to its full rated surge capacity.

 


Leader Parallel Surge Protection Device

The Leader (LS) is a parallel suppressor that can be installed either at indoor or outdoor locations. Its compact size makes it ideal where space is limited. Although compact, the LS has a transient handling capability equal to much larger units and will suppress and filter transients up to 225kA. It is appropriate at the service entrance, a distribution panel or to protect individual equipment. LS surge suppressors do not incorporate fusing elements that restrict the unit’s ability to repetitively suppress transients up to its full rated surge capacity.

 


The SM is a parallel suppressor for use in commercial facilities. It is appropriate for use at either a service entrance or a distribution panel. At the service entrance the SM provides protection against lightning or switching transients from the utility system. At a distribution panel, it provides protection against transients generated on other branch circuits within the facility. SM models suppress and filter damaging transients up to 160kA. SM surge suppressors do not incorporate fusing elements that restrict the unit’s ability to repetitively suppress transients up to it’s full rated
surge capacity.

 


FM Parallel Surge Protection Device

The FM is a parallel suppressor for use in commercial facilities. It is appropriate for use at either a service entrance or a distribution panel. At the service entrance the FM provides protection against lightning or switching transients from the utility system. At a distribution panel, it provides protection against transients generated on other branch circuits within the facility. FM models suppress and filter damaging transients up to 120kA. FM surge suppressors do not incorporate fusing elements that restrict the unit's ability to repetitively suppress transients up to it's full rated surge capacity.

SP Parallel Surge Protection Device

The SP is a parallel suppressor for use in commercial and residential facilities. It is appropriate for use at either a service entrance or a distribution panel. At the service entrance the SP provides protection against lightning or switching transients from the utility system. At a distribution panel, it provides protection against transients generated on other branch circuits within the facility. SP models suppress and filter damaging transients up to 120kA. SP surge suppressors do not incorporate fusing elements that restrict the unit’s ability to repetitively suppress transients up to it’s full rated surge capacity.

 


CF Parallel Surge Suppresion Device

The CF is a parallel suppressor for use in commercial and residential facilities. It is appropriate for use at either a service entrance or a distribution panel. At the service entrance the CF provides protection against lightning or switching transients from the utility system. At a distribution panel, it provides protection against transients generated on other branch circuits within the facility. CF models suppress and filter damaging transients up to 120kA. CF surge suppressors do not incorporate fusing elements that restrict the unit’s ability to repetitively suppress transients up to it’s full rated surge capacity.

 


USP Parallel Surge Suppression

The USP is a parallel surge suppressor for use in commercial and residential facilities at either a service entrance or a distribution panel. At the service entrance these models provide protection against lightning or switching transients from the utility system. At a distribution panel, they provide protection against transients generated on other branch circuits.

 


TSP Parallel Surge Suppression

The TSP is a parallel surge suppressor for use in commercial and residential facilities at either a service entrance or a distribution panel. At the service entrance these models provide protection against lightning or switching transients from the utility system. At a distribution panel, they provide protection against transients generated on other branch circuits.

 


HSPC Parallel Home Surge Protection Center

The Home Surge Protection Center (HSPC) is a parallel surge protection device designed to eliminate transient surges before they enter the home through the three primary paths of surge entry (AC, cable, phone lines). The HSPC provides a central grounding point for the AC, cable and phone lines and is available for indoor or outdoor installations.
