DS98 AC surge protector is used for the "secondary" protection of the single phase networks against the surge voltages created by lightning. It is based on an association between a high energy gas tube and varistors. DS98 is equipped with an internal thermal safety which will disconnect the unit from the AC network in case of end of life. This disconnection will be indicated by the turn on of the red led in the front.
Very compact, the DS98 surge protector must be installed close bythe equipment to protect, downstream a «primary» surge protector ( e.g. DS40). DS98 provides both a common and differential mode protection.
These surge protectors can be classified as Type 2 or Type 3, following test class II or III from IEC 61643-1 standard.
The electrical configuration of the DS98 allows a connection in parallelor series modes. In the last case, the maximum load current is 16 A.
