RCHW Series

Heavy-Duty | Highly Configurable | Hardwired SPD

The RCHW Series provides high-energy surge protection and optional RF filtering for Residential, Commercial, Industrial and Remote Site applications.

These hardwired units provide superior control over transients by delivering low clamping voltages combined with high surge energy handling capabilities. All RCHW models are Type 1 or Type 2 Surge Protection Devices that are listed to ANSI/UL 1449.

They are configured for quick and easy parallel installation and require little maintenance while in service.

The RCHW Series is available for all service voltages and phase configurations and can be equipped with several specialized diagnostic options. All Models have a 100kA RMS symmetrical fault current rating suitable for all IEEE category C locations and are available with surge ratings of 50kA or 100kA per phase. ✝︎
