Strikesorb modules are the ideal solution for integrated applications.
Strikesorb is the only UL Recognized SPD which has successfully gone through the complete revised testing procedure of the new UL1449 standard, effective February 9, 2007, including abnormal overvoltage testing at low and intermediate short circuit currents up to 1000A rms for 7 hours. Therefore, unlike other UL Recognized components, its integration inside panelboards, switchboards, switchgear cabinets, motor control centers, telecommunication and CATV cabinets, Variable Speed Drives etc, is inherently safe and will never pose a threat to the rest of the equipment. In addition, due to the fact that Strikesorb has been fully tested to the complete testing procedure as defined in the revised UL1449 standard, panels which include Strikesorb modules do not need any further testing according to UL1449 in order to meet the requirements for UL Listing. This saves the integrators and panel manufacturers a significant amount of time and money.
Due to the recent sweeping changes of UL1449, most TVSS/SPD manufacturers face a situation where systems used until now are losing their UL Mark. Under the provision of the National Electrical Code (NEC) where a TVSS is installed it must be a UL Listed device. System integrators, specification engineers, infrastructure contractors and OEM’s, need to pay attention to make sure what they are using is an appropriately UL Marked device.
In addition, Strikesorb modules have successfully passed the 3-cycle testing at available short circuit currents up to 100,000A rms. The unique, fuseless design of the Strikesorb module allows direct installation on the busbars on the load side of a circuit breaker of any rating eliminating the need to install additional fuses or interconnection wires, in applications with available short circuit currents of up to 100,000A rms.
Strikesorb modules have also been successfully tested according to UL1449 at available fault current of 200kA with an upstream fuse of 4000A.
