Main panel surge protection device (SPD)
The Main Panel Surge Protection Device is installed at the main panel of your business or at the sub-panel. Any expended modules or damaged units are replaced at no cost to you.
We offer the MST Series, a modular, parallel installed SPD designed for commercial and industrial applications. Models provide 50kA of surge energy handling per phase. This rating is 5 times the energy handling of the IEEE's highest Category C location rating of 10kA/20kV.
MST units incorporate a replaceable MT protection module that is completely self-contained. In the unlikely event of a failure, the MT module is replaceable in the field, thereby eliminating the need to remove the entire unit from service. Servicing and replacement may require a brief electrical outage.
All models carry a 100kA rms symmetrical fault current rating making expensive disconnects and costly replacement fuses unnecessary. When replacing a MT module, the entire operating unit including all phases, all modes, the fuses and even the diagnostics is replaced. This eliminates potential weak elements that might have sustained damage or degradation during a fault event.
The MST Series ranges in price from $30 to $40 plus tax per month depending on the model. The monthly fee and one-time installation charge are conveniently added to your electric bill.

Main panel surge protection device (SPD) highlights:
- Installed in a rugged weather-proof enclosure (8.5"w x 10.25"h x 6"d)
- Convenient replaceable module with "protection on" LED indicators
