LPI® Transient Earth Clamp
LPI’s new and improved transient earth clamp (TEC100-2L) prevents earth potential differences by operating only under transient conditions to effectively clamp all connected earths together. Under normal conditions, the TEC100-2L presents an effective open circuit. Once the earth potential difference exceeds the breakdown voltage of the TEC100-2L, conduction immediately occurs and the earth potentials are equalised. The TEC100-2L is a self-restoring device and has a life of over ten thousand operations.
