Surge Protection / Arresters
Sankosha
For over 75 years, they have developed and manufactured the Ceramic Gas Tube Surge Arrester (Gas Discharge Tube or GDT). Sankosha gas tube arresters protect personnel, equipment and circuitry from abnormally high voltages caused by lightning or electrical transients. Their surge protection devices have well defined surge-limiting characteristics enabling them to spark over (or breakdown) when the abnormal voltage on a line reaches a specific level. When sparkover occurs in the GDT, the surge is redirected to earth. Sankosha’s gas tube arrestors are known for their quality.
Maida
Component products manufactured by Maida cover a wide range of uses and industries. Maida’s zinc oxide varistors are used in many applications that require protection against high voltage transients induced on power lines by nearby lightning strikes or suppression of transients caused by switching inductive loads from industrial equipment, transformers, relays and coils. Common applications include ground fault interrupters, specialty high voltage power supplies, telecommunication equipment, computer and computer-related products, motor control systems, cable TV systems, and AC smoke detectors, plus many special applications. Custom design and fabrication of ceramic components for specific customer requirements are also available from Maida.
Maida Surge Protection Devices are designed to compete with Littlefuse LSP05 and LSP10 product lines. There are various differences between the Maida Surge Protection Devices and the Littlefuse modules such as: lmax, ln, MCOV. Mounting is another difference as the Littlefuse modules are rectangular and Maida Surge Protection Devices are cylindrical.
Littelfuse products are vital components in virtually every market that uses electrical energy, from consumer electronics to automobiles, commercial vehicles and industrial equipment. Their history of innovation, proven technical expertise and the industry’s broadest and deepest portfolio of circuit protection products enable them to provide objective, comprehensive solutions for each customer’s unique needs
