High-end power supply SPD "ASLETE APN Series" launched!
昭電
Showa Electric will release the high-end power supply SPD 'ASLETE APN Series' by the end of June 2010. In recent years, there has been an increase in extremely intense thunderstorms known as "guerrilla rainstorms." According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, 2008, which saw particularly high instances of lightning strikes, recorded the highest number of thunder observation days in central Tokyo in the past 50 years. The number of lightning damage incidents has also shown a sharp upward trend, and accordingly, the sales of Showa Electric's lightning protection products are also on the rise. The newly developed 'ASLETE APN Series' is an SPD that protects power equipment and communication devices from lightning surges entering through power lines by being installed in power distribution boards and panel boards. By incorporating a separator with a cutoff capacity of 10kA into the SPD, the need for a separately installed separator is eliminated, allowing for space-saving solutions. Additionally, by electronic circuiting the alarm signal contacts for SPD failures, the malfunctions and unnecessary operations seen in traditional mechanical systems have been eliminated, improving reliability, safety, and maintainability.
