The BKGL350A is a Surge Protective Device (SPD) manufactured by SolaHD. It is designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment from transient voltage surges and spikes that can occur on AC power lines. These surges can be caused by lightning strikes, power grid switching, or internal equipment malfunctions.

Applications

• Industrial control panels
• Programmable logic controllers (PLCs)
• Power distribution boards
• Networking equipment
• Critical infrastructure

Features

• High surge current capacity
• Thermally protected MOV technology
• LED status indication
• Compact design
• DIN rail mountable

Benefits

• Provides reliable protection against voltage surges, preventing equipment damage.
• Increases uptime and reduces maintenance costs.
• Offers visual indication of SPD status, allowing for proactive maintenance.
• Easy to install in existing electrical panels.
• Meets industry safety standards.

Additional Details

The BKGL350A utilizes Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) with thermal protection to safely dissipate surge energy. The MOV’s divert the surge current away from protected equipment by creating a low-impedance path to ground when a voltage surge is detected. The device's LED status indication provides visual confirmation of its operational status. It's designed for easy installation on standard DIN rails.
