FAQs
CLNSURGE10 is a plug-on surge protective device designed for Eaton Type BR panel boards. It mounts directly onto BR-type breakers and bus assemblies, providing robust L-N and L-L protection. It supports 50/60 Hz operation and is suited for industrial control cabinets, manufacturing lines, and commercial electrical distributions where BR protection is required.
CLNSURGE10 diverts transient surges away from protected circuits to maintain voltage within safe limits. It delivers 10 kA nominal discharge current and up to 20 kA surge current with a 10 kA short-circuit rating, guarding both L-N and L-L paths. This protection helps prevent damage to sensitive electronics and drives while keeping systems within 150 V L-N and 300 V L-L limits.
Yes. The device is UL 1449 listed and cUL certified, confirming compliance with recognized safety standards for surge protective devices. This certification supports safer panel installations in industrial environments and simplifies regulatory audits for electrical protection implementations.
Yes. As a plug-on module, CLNSURGE10 attaches to Eaton Type BR panels without extensive rewiring. It integrates with BR-type breakers, reduces installation time, and minimizes panel downtime during upgrades. Its compact dimensions and modest weight further facilitate retrofits in space-constrained control panels.
Using CLNSURGE10 lowers total cost of ownership by reducing nuisance tripping, protecting critical loads, and decreasing downtime in manufacturing and automation environments. The UL/cUL certifications support long-term compliance, while simple field replacement and BR compatibility keep maintenance costs predictable and parts availability straightforward.
