Powerful New Solutions for Today's Electrical Systems
What's behind a great idea? At Ferraz Shawmut, it's extensive field experience, a flair for creativity and the foresight to solve tomorrow's problems today.
But most important is our intimate understanding of the issues our customers face. Like the pressure to reduce costs and eliminate downtime. The need for greater safety on the job. The impact of electrical standards half a world away.
Here are just a few of our most recent innovations:
Surge-Trap Type 1 Surge Protective Device (SPD)
The Surge-Trap Type 1 SPD meets requirements for UL 1449 Third Edition and is ideal for indoor applications. It provides a 2-year warranty and offers an economical replacement for the former Surge Arrestor category.
Surge-Trap Pluggable Surge Protective Device (SPD)
