| Lightning
Arrestors |
Unfortunately,
electrical
systems tend to attract lightning. This tendency can often destroy components in a
renewable energy system, leading to costly repairs and
unpredictable power outages. Protect your investment from
the hazards of nature with a lightning arrestor on the DC and AC
circuits of your renewable energy system.
|
| Specifications |
Use a lightning arrestor to protect the
AC and DC circuits of a photovoltaic or wind energy installation from lightning strikes. Three
wires make installation quick and simple, while rugged
electronic components can handle an infinite number of
"surges".
