LOPS: China Factory Suppliers for MV Bus Overvoltage Protection with Advanced Suppression Technology
Functional features
High energy nonlinear resistor chip matching technology
The nonlinear resistor adopts unique heat dissipation technology and fully sealed process, with excellent heat dissipation and moisture prevention effects, stable working performance, long service life, and safety and reliability.
Overvoltage peak cutting technology
When a transient overvoltage occurs in the system, when the peak value of the overvoltage exceeds 1.2 times the rated voltage peak value, the overvoltage peak interceptor immediately acts to cut off the high voltage wave head, ensuring the safe operation of various load equipment under the busbar.
Secondary pressure limiting technology
After the operation of the first level voltage limiting unit, if the bus voltage still exceeds the set allowable value, the LOPS equipment will put in an overvoltage chopper to quickly limit the bus voltage to 1.2 times or less.
Rapid response technology
The action delay is small, the first level has no delay response, and the second level responds within 2 milliseconds. Good steep wave response characteristics, short conduction time of nonlinear resistors, active protection, and good protection performance.
Overvoltage recording technology
The LOPS low-voltage bus overvoltage suppression equipment can automatically record parameters such as the number of actions, action time, and bus voltage during action, providing a basis for system technical analysis.
