ISP4 Protection

Other ISP Products

Ideal for equipment with a figure '8' IEC power sockets this plugs between the IEC socket and the IEC plug and lead supplied with your equipment. This device dissipates incoming and outgoing surges to and from domestic and professional equipment. Power consumption is minimal and reset is automatic.

Applications [back to top]

Lap Top Computers Hi-fi Computer peripherals Audio Equipment Video recorders and many other applications using the figure '8' IEC power inlet connector

Every Inline Surge Protector is tested to ensure very fast operation and minimum let through voltage. The unit appears invisible to the mains filter fitted inside modern electronic equipment. This state of the art patented product provides cost effective mains transient protection.

Features [back to top]

Rated 2.5 Amps
Cool grey flame retardant moulding
Protection operational indictator light
Thermal overload protection

The ISP4 has a neon light which indicates protection operational. The light will extinguish should a high energy strike destroy the internal protector, however power will still be supplied to the associated equipment. Should the light go out the unit must be replaced to restore surge protection.

Regulations [back to top]

This product has a 'failsafe' arrangement of surge protection to guarantee the thermal link blows and indicates failure unlike the arrangement used by most of our competitors which could mean the loss of protection without indication thus leaving your equipment exposed to further surge damage.
Thermal overload protection fitted as standard. Surge protection products where protection elements are not fitted with this safety feature can overheat under fault conditions, and give rise to the risk of electric shock or fire.

Satisfies the recommendations of BS6651 1991 Appendix C
Protection elements comply with the latest issue of UL 1449 Transient Voltage Surge Suppressors (August 1996)
Tested against 'worst case' conditions as defined in International Standards IEEE C62.41 - 1991 Cat B2 (test wave 8/20us)
Complies with the IT safety standard EN 60950
