Welcome To G-TV! Today I will be showing you Mersen's X line Surge Trap Type 1 Series of
SPDs . The X line is UL 1449 3rd edition approved surge protection devices housed in a NEMA
4X polycarbonate enclosure. These SPDs have a true "no-fuse" surge design; they do not
require additional fuse components or overcurrent protection. They also feature Mersen's patented
TPMOV technology. TPMOVs are thermally protected MOVs comprised of a voltage clamping device
and a disconnecting apparatus that monitors the status of the metal oxide disk making
it a fail-safe device. In the event of an overvoltage breakdown the metal oxide disk
is securely disconnected from the system power by an arc shield. The X line is comprised
of the XR, XP and XT Series. The XR series is ideal for the replacement of obsolete surge
arrestors. With a small, compact design and line or load installation flexibility, the
XR series is ideal from service entrance all the way down to a specific control panel.
The XR also comes with a 2 year warranty. The XP Series provides surge protection for
larger distribution panels and branch panels. With a compact design and line or load installation
flexibility, the XP series is prepared for mount from the service entrance all the way
down to an important machine-specific control panel. The XP also comes with a 10 year warranty.
The XT Series offers the most advanced technology of the X Series product line utilizing TPMOV
technology. Designed to fit and protect the service entrance, the XT Series also features
line or load side installation. The XT also comes with a 10 year warranty. The X line
has a 20 Kiloamp nominal discharge current and a maximum discharge current from 50 to
200 kiloamps per phase. Most models also have a short circuit current rating of 200 Kilamps.
A Tri-mount installation kit is included for pipe ***, bracket, and DIN-rail. Mersen's
