Showden will release the cost-effective lightning protection product, power supply SPD 'PN Series', by the end of June 2010. In recent years, there has been an increase in extremely intense thunderstorms referred to as "guerrilla downpours." According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the number of thunder observation days in central Tokyo reached the highest level in the past 50 years in 2008, which was particularly notable for frequent lightning strikes. The number of lightning damage incidents has also shown a sharp increase, and accordingly, sales of Showden's lightning protection products are on the rise. The newly developed 'PN Series' is an SPD that protects power equipment and communication devices from lightning surges entering through power lines when installed in power panels and distribution boards. It has a current withstand capacity (Class?U 8/20) of 10kA and 20kA and meets the standard specifications for public construction projects. Additionally, it is a RoHS compliant product.
