Secondary Surge Arrester

This device meets the growing need for surge protection as households have added increasing amounts of transient-sensitive, semiconductor-based electrical and electronic equipment.

By installing this new Siemens device in the load center of the residence, surge protection is provided for all branch circuits, fixtures, appliances, motors, and other electronic and electrical equipment in the house served by that load center.

Surge Arrester The Siemens Company has announced the availability of its latest innovation - a circuit breaker / surge arrester that protects the electrical system against lightning strikes, utility switching surges, and in-home-generated transients.

Two red LED lights indicate that surge protection is provided for all circuits connected to the panel board. As a Siemens exclusive feature, the device notifies the owner of loss of surge protection by tripping one or both of the circuit breakers. These breakers should be used for circuit protection of frequently used household or facility circuits because the lights and devices connected to these circuits provide an effective indication that surge protection is being provided.

If one or both of the circuit breakers have tripped, turn both circuit breakers to the "OFF" then "ON" position. If either light is not illuminated, the device may still be used for circuit protection, but surge protection is no longer provided and the device should be replaced by a qualified electrician.

All Type QP circuit breakers and secondary surge arresters are plug-on style, with load terminals provided. The devices are rated for 120/240V AC and are calibrated for 40 degrees C maximum ambient applications.
