UNIVERSAL ANNOUNCES NEW EVERLINE® SURGE PROTECTORS

Universal Lighting Technologies has added to its family of EVERLINE products with the new EVERLINE Surge Protectors, capable of managing a surge of up to 20kV. Inserted between line voltage and the driver/module or ballast/lamp system, EVERLINE Surge Protectors provide system-wide protection, eliminating the need for internal fixture components that are rated to handle large spikes in input voltage.
“With the Universal EVERLINE family of products, we’re able to offer our customers a matched system of drivers and modules,” said Ed Klonowski, a product manager with Universal Lighting Technologies. “By adding surge protectors to our product line, we complete that system with protection from extreme voltage fluctuations.”
While fixture components are designed to handle variations in input power, being connected directly to the main power lines introduces complications when it comes to power surges. Because lightning strikes, switching and other events can be far more severe directly on the power lines, these components need additional protection. The new EVERLINE Surge Protectors protect more sensitive components against line surges and transients.
EVERLINE Surge Protectors are C3 surge location rated, providing surge protection up to 20kV and are available for 277V and 480V applications. For more information on Universal Lighting Technologies, please visit www.unvlt.com.
