• Will not induce accidental circuit breaker tripping

• Zener diodes precisely limit the voltage to prevent reverse flow of battery

current as soon as the transient is over

• Can be used on 24. 48 or 125 V batteries

Protect Against Lightning and Switching Transients and Avoid Costly Service

Interruption and Equipment Damage.

Why Should You Use the M–0001 Battery Transient Suppressor?

Lightning strokes may flow through battery and control leads seeking a path

to ground.

Ground faults from a power conductor can result in thousands of amperes

flowing until circuit breakers operate.

Transients induced by opening air disconnects can create high frequency energy

through the conductor from the switch to the first open breaker. The conductor

will then act as an antenna when it is energized or de energized, with the arc

acting as a signal generator. The energy will be received by any nearby conductor.

Opening or closing a circuit breaker, especially when a power line is being switched,

can cause the line to absorb the high frequency energy which can radiate to other

conductors in a switchyard.
