DESCRIPTION
The HE900 is a MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) based hardwired Secondary Surge Arrester, often referred to as a
Lightning Arrester. The device is designed to protect electrical equipment from damaging effects of Spikes (+) and
Notches (-) caused by lightning, utility switching, insulation arcing, electrical motor cycling, and other large or
sudden changes in electrical power flow on incoming AC power lines.
The HE900 is a three phase, three wire arrester intended to protect 480 VAC systems. The epoxy encapsulated
arrester is designed to be easily installed in any position indoors or outdoors utilizing the integral 1/2" threaded
nipple and supplied metal lock nut.
The housing is molded from flame retardant plastic that is both weather and UV resistant, and complies with the UL
standard for strength and flame resistance properties. The arrester is sealed with UL component recognized epoxy
potting compound. The HE900 has three 18" long, 12 AWG multi-stranded leads that are color coded for ease of
installation.
The HVPSI HE900 is ideal protection for outdoor lighting and pole lamps, panelboards, oilfield pumps, workshops,
irrigation and sump pumps, refrigeration systems, farm equipment including milking machines and poultry
processing equipment, electric motors and controls, heat pumps and air conditioning equipment and many other
electrical devices.
The HE900 utilizes a single MOV per pole to reduce the potential load balancing/sharing problems during
operation.
