The PSP VORTEXX Series R 120/240V Type 1 Single Phase Surge Protector is designed to protect electrical panels and connected equipment from transient voltage surges caused by lightning, utility switching, and internal load events. Built for service entrance and downstream panel applications, this surge protective device supports single-phase 120/240V systems with a 3W+G wiring configuration. It is commonly installed in commercial, industrial, and utility environments where reliable surge suppression is required to reduce equipment stress and unplanned downtime.
This unit incorporates thermally protected MOV suppression, capacitive filtering, and a gas discharge tube to manage high-energy surge events while maintaining system stability. With a maximum discharge current of 120kA per phase and EMI/RFI noise filtration rated at -40 dB, the VORTEXX Series R supports sensitive electronic loads and power distribution equipment. The cast aluminum NEMA 4X enclosure allows for indoor or outdoor installation, and visual and audible status indicators provide clear operational feedback for maintenance personnel.
