Eaton TVSS
Critical UL 1449 update information
On February 9, 2007, the Underwriters
Laboratories Standard for Safety implemented major updates to
the standards for all transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS)
products. The UL 1449 standard was designed to reduce the
risk of shock or fire hazard during TVSS use, and applies to all
TVSS units manufactured after this date.
Eaton offers two surge protection devices designed to
protect your sensitive telecommunications, HVAC, and other
electrical and electronic equipment.
- The Eaton PVL is our standard surge protective
device (SPD) that combines surge suppression components and
EMI/RFI filtering to provide effective protection for
sensitive electronic loads. The Eaton PVL product is available in 50, 80, 100, 120,
160, and 200 kA per phase.
- The Eaton PXL offers improved quality and
reliability including enhanced monitoring capabilities and a
new patent pending technology - our Thermo-Dynamic Fusing
System - which provides a safer surge protective device in a
smaller package. It can be purchased in 100, 120, 160, 200,
250, 300, 400, and 500 kA per phase sizes.
