Bowthorpe SPLB1/13 spur protector
Bowthorpe SPLB1/13 spur protector
Ideal for industrial or commercial applications.
The Spur Protector SPLB1/13 provides an
economic means of preventing damage to
sensitive electronic equipment on individual ring
mains, from the dangers of transients, which can
occur as the result of a nearby lightning strike or
surges derived from the switching of inductive or
The Spur Protector can either be wired to the
equipment as an inline protector or can be
hardwired into wall mounted conduits.
The Spur Protector is best used as part of a
totally integrated surge protection system and
should be considered as the final link in the
chain when planning a systematic and coordinated
approach to surge protection and it is
therefore essential that main service and
distribution panel protection is provided as a
The Spur Protector provides suppression from
mainsborne voltage spikes and surges between
live and earth, live and neutral and neutral and
earth conductors, thus ensuring protection in all
three modes. This protection is achieved by
using high energy absorbing elements which are
accurately matched to the internal fuse
protection of the Spur Protector.
Two status lights are provided - red and green.
The green neon indicates mains power ON . The
red neon when lit indicates loss of protection.
The Spur Protector features high surge current
conditions will automatically reset after
clamping smaller, more frequently occurring
surges. However, should a large surge current,
in excess of 6.5kA appear on the line it will be
clamped by the Spur Protector, but protection
In this instance, the red neon illuminates to
indicate that protection is no longer present
and the unit should be replaced. With both
lights on, power will still be supplied to the
load, but without surge protection. See website for more info http:// /datasheets/308647.pdf
