SurgePOD™ Modules
Cooper Bussmann SurgePOD surge protective overvoltage devices are board-mounted. Upon an overvoltage condition, their voltage clamping feature becomes conductive, safely shunting the surge to ground.
All SurgePOD devices are UL 1449 3rd Edition Recognized Type 1 SPD and contain an internal element that safely disconnects the device upon reaching an overvoltage breakdown condition.
Optional remote contact signaling is accomplished with an optional Normally Open microswitch that closes upon reaching an overvoltage breakdown condition.
Optional local visual indication is accomplished with optional visual indicating tabs that protrude through the device’s top upon reaching an overvoltage breakdown condition.
Six modules with available ratings for systems from 150Vac to 550Vac
