LED street lighting is now widely used for its efficiency, its energy cost savings and its life expectancy. Nevertheless this attractive technology has an important weakness: its sensitivity to transient voltages created by lightning or by power switch operations on AC network.
Due to its scattered and over-exposed location, LED lighting system will face induced surges which will create failure of its power supply, damage LED components or loss of the lighting efficiency. For these reasons, the use of relevant surge protectors located upstream the LED lighting systems is highly recommended.
CITEL offers a full range of surge protectors designed to be installed at different points on the lighting network such as streetlights, the base of poles and street cabinets.
CITEL offers solutions adapted to every type of outdoor LED lighting systems : urban, architectural, tunnels etc…
CITEL proposes a complete range of AC surge protectors specifically designed for the protection of LED lighting systems in the lantern or connection boxes.
DSLP series is installed inside the bottom of the lighting pole: its very compact dimension allows a easy integration with the connection box, on DIN rail. DSLP1 is based on a powerful association of MOV and GDT components, secured by thermal disconnector and disconnection light indicator. The DLPM version offers a mechanical indicator in order to inform about the status of the SPD without voltage supply.
