Metrosil Surge Diverter Type SVL is designed for switching applications where fast rise time surges with low energy content need to be suppressed. It utilizes metal oxide varistors (MOVs) that provide effective overvoltage protection, making it suitable for devices such as transformers and motors, particularly in scenarios with high switching frequencies and low impulse withstand levels. The diverters are available in two formats: a standard version with M6 ISO coarse threads at both ends and a flying lead version with one M6 stud and a flexible lead for easier installation. They come with maximum voltage ratings ranging from 1.2 kV to 15.5 kV and are rated for ambient temperatures up to 70¬8C. The response time to transient overvoltages is approximately 50 nanoseconds, and no maintenance is required, although replacement is recommended after significant operational changes or failures.
Metrosil MIMOX type SVL has been developed specifically for switching applications where the surge to be suppressed may have a fast rise time, but low energy content. Their rated voltages are from 1.2 kV to 15.5 kV.
Type SVL Diverters are constructed from metal oxide varistors, which are highly non-linear and thus offer excellent protection levels.
This type of diverter is recommended for use with any device (transformer, motor) where the withstand impulse voltage is low and high-energy absorption is not required. They are particularly useful for loads, which are switched with vacuum contactors.
