Spark Gap Diverter

Features
• Effective The SGD1100 spark gap surge diverter has been specifically
equipotential designed to provide equipotential bonding between the
Neutral and Earth terminals of TT power distribution systems,
bonding – provides as per IEC-60364-5-534. Its high surge rating makes it suitable
N-E protection to IEC zones 0A-1 and VDE classification B locations.
