Maximizes the protection ,lifetime value and safety of outdoor lighting installations in high risk areas

Devtech Surge Guard offers a most reliable and robust solution for protecting all outdoor power supplies from excessive surge voltages. Rapidly increasing demands for LED lighting system for outdoor applications in high risk areas brings new challenges on the system durability. In order to maximize the durability and reliability of LED lighting investment, it is vital to protect the light engine against high surges on the mains line. Most of the LED drivers offer a limited level of surge protection (up to 2kV- 4kV) which is not enough to defend against high surges, e.g. (indirect) lightning strikes. Outdoor lighting applications such as street lighting, commercial / industrial lighting and Ware house parking lots etc are especially susceptible for the excessive surge.
Maximum surge protection is achieved by installing Surge Guard 1510/1520 with the luminaire using Series or Parallel connection type. In Parallel connection type , if SG fails, luminaire continues to work without any surge protection level and gets damaged for the next surge hit, whereas in Series type if SG fails, it will disconnect luminaire from the supply thus providing the ultimate protection to luminaries from surge failures. During the Surge conditions , SG clamps or limits high surge voltage (1.2/50μs waveform) present at the terminals of the luminaire, and divert excessive surge currents (8/20ìs waveform) into short circuit conditions thus protecting the complete system from damage by multiple nominal surges of up to 20 kV/10 kA and single hit of 40 kV/20 kA.
