The EPZ series has been developed to provide transient equi-potential bonding.
It is used in applications such as lightning protective grounding where for instance a “clean” signal ground can not be directly connected to a “dirty” power system ground, of in professional oil and professional gas pipelines to protect insulated flanges from flash-overs during direct or nearby lightning discharges or when ground faults of nearby power transmission lines can cause large potential gradients across these flanges.
It is also used to prevent dangerous potential differences from developing between equipment and adjacent metallic professional structures (metal pylons, industrial cables, tubes) during lightning discharges.
Location of use: Exposed environments or direct burial
Protection element: GDT
High surge discharge rating: Imax = 100kA Professional housing: Corrosion resistant enclosure with hermetic environmental professional seal and flying leads for ease of connection
