Eaton CLNSURGE Type BR Surge Protection Device - UL 1449
Part Number: CLNSURGE
Quick Summary
Eaton CLNSURGE Type BR surge protection device protects panels by clamping surges on L-N and L-L. Too often, transient voltage spikes cause unplanned downtime and premature equipment wear. UL 1449 and cUL certifications support code-compliant installs, while UL Classified status for plug-on modules simplifies integration. Designed for quick plug-on installation in Type BR panels, it streamlines commissioning and helps reduce total cost of ownership while enhancing system protection. Its compact form-factor supports retrofit projects and minimizes panel footprint, improving serviceability. With 50/60 Hz operation and robust voltage protection, engineers can design quieter, safer electrical systems. This combination yields measurable reliability gains and helps meet industry standards for mission-critical applications.
