High-end power supply SPD "ASLETE APN Series" launched!
昭電
Showden will release the high-end power supply SPD 'ASLETE APN Series' by the end of June 2010. In recent years, there has been an increase in extremely intense thunderstorms known as guerrilla downpours. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the number of thunder observation days in central Tokyo in 2008, which had particularly high lightning strikes, recorded the highest in the past 50 years. The number of lightning damage incidents has also been on the rise, and accordingly, the sales of Showden's lightning protection products have shown an increasing trend. The newly developed 'ASLETE APN Series' is an SPD that protects power equipment and communication devices from lightning surges entering through power lines by being installed in power distribution boards and sub-distribution boards. By incorporating a separator with a cutoff capacity of 10kA into the SPD, it eliminates the need for a separately installed separator, thus saving space. Additionally, by electronic circuiting the alarm signal contacts for SPD failures, it has eliminated the malfunctions and unnecessary operations seen in traditional mechanical systems, improving reliability, safety, and maintainability.
