Surge Protective Devices (SPD)

Meter Socket Surge Arrester Adapters

Leviton's Meter Socket Surge Arrester Adapter offers residential power users a way to reliably and economically protect their homes against external transient surges that enter through the home's service entrance. It offers a quick, cost-effective turnkey solution to the problem of transient voltage surges causing malfunctions in sensitive electronics.

The device installs quickly and easily at the electrical service entrance and provides protection of up to 70,000 peak Amps of surge current. Offering a higher energy capacity than multiple small MOV configurations (where energy capacity is limited by the weakest MOV in the chain), it is designed for 120/240 volt single-phase and 120/208 volt 3-phase ringless or ring-type meters and is available in popular jaw configurations with spring-loaded, high-pressure, copper-plated contacts.

Application:

Leviton's Meter Socket Surge Arrester provides first-line of defense surge protection to divert high energy surges from entering the home.

Features and Benefits:

Use of a single, large 53 mm MOV per line (Each Line-to-Neutral) provides a higher energy capacity than multiple small MOV configurations where the protection is only as good as the weakest MOV in the chain.
Surge Arrester performance tested to IEEE C62.11 (10,000 AMPS/4x10 μS) and IEEE C62.41 and C62.45 Category C standards (NEC Article 280).
