FAQs
Yes. CHNSURGE10CS is a plug‑on, two‑pole surge protection device designed specifically for Eaton Type CH panels. The clamshell housing and pigtail termination simplify installation, enabling quick retrofits or new builds without rewiring existing control circuits. Always verify panel clearance and ensure the device is connected to the L-N and L-L paths for full protection.
CHNSURGE10CS provides a 10 kA interrupt rating (10 kAIC) and a 20 kA surge current capability. It protects L-N and L-L, with a maximum operating voltage of 150 V L-N and 300 V L-L, and supports 50/60 Hz systems. These specs enable reliable protection for standard industrial control circuits and help minimize transient damage to downstream devices.
Ideal for control cabinets, motor control centers, and automation panels, CHNSURGE10CS offers robust surge protection in Type CH configurations. It is well-suited for facilities with mixed loads and frequent transient events, providing actionable protection for drives, relays, sensors, and programmable logic controllers while supporting scalable protection strategies across equipment fleets.
CHNSURGE10CS carries UL 1449 certification, indicating compliance with recognized surge protection safety standards. This certification supports regulatory alignment for electrical protection devices and helps ensure reliable performance during surge events. For additional compliance needs, verify local codes and compatibility with other safety standards in your region.
By reducing transient damage and limiting unexpected outages, CHNSURGE10CS lowers repair and replacement costs while extending equipment life. The plug‑on design speeds installation, cutting labor costs during upgrades. Over time, facilities can achieve higher uptime, fewer spare parts, and improved reliability in production environments.
