TVSS
Panel TVSS units meet 2007 UL 1449 2nd Edition standards and include light-, medium-, and heavy-duty models in single- and 3-phase versions. In addition, each light-duty model features a green LED that turns off when protection is lost. On medium- and heavy-duty units, the green LED indicates normal operation while red shows a loss of protection. Some models also include an audio alarm. Upgraded designs offer enhanced reliability at 150A and 50A intermediate currents.
