Quick PRD surge arrester

Withdrawable "LV" surge arresters type 2 or 3

Withdrawable Quick PRD surge arresters allow damaged cartridges to be replaced quickly. They offer remote reporting of the "cartridge must be changed" message.
They protect electrical and electronic equipment against lightning-induced surges. Quick PRD surge arresters are prewired, incorporating their end-of-life disconnector. Each surge arrester in the range has a specific use: b incoming protection (type 2): v Quick PRD 40r is recommended for a high risk level v Quick PRD 20r is recommended for a moderate risk level b close protection (type 2 or 3): v Quick PRD 8r provides close protection for the loads to be protected and is cascade-mounted with the incoming surge arresters. This surge arrester is required as close as possible to the loads to be protected when they are located more than 30 metres away from the incoming surge arrester.
