ACDC LP2-8 280 V 8 kA Lightning & Surge Arrestor
Protect your valuable electronic equipment from damaging voltage surges and lightning-induced transients with the ACDC LP2-8 280 V Lightning & Surge Arrestor. Designed for AC and DC applications, this compact surge protection device helps safeguard sensitive equipment by diverting high-energy surge currents safely to earth before they can cause damage.
With a maximum discharge current of 8 kA (8/20 μs waveform) and a 280 V operating voltage, the LP2-8 is ideal for protecting power supplies, control panels, PLCs, industrial automation equipment, communication devices, alarm systems, smart metering equipment, and other low-voltage electronic installations.
Its compact inline design allows for quick and simple installation, making it an effective first line of defence against lightning strikes, switching surges, and electrical transients.

Why Use a Surge Arrestor?
Lightning strikes and electrical switching can generate high-voltage spikes that damage sensitive electronic equipment. A surge arrestor diverts these transient voltages safely to earth, reducing the risk of equipment failure, costly repairs, and system downtime.
The ACDC LP2-8 Lightning & Surge Arrestor provides a simple and cost-effective solution for improving the reliability and protection of electrical and electronic systems in residential, commercial, and industrial environments.
