Panel Surge Protector, Panel Extension PX3
The Panel Extension PX3 is a compact, externally mounted surge protection solution designed to be easily affixed to the top or bottom of any panelboard, saving space while delivering robust protection. Utilizing the Integrated Suppression Module (ISM) and featuring thermally fused MOVs, surge-rated copper bussing, and advanced filtering, it efficiently suppresses harmful transients and extends equipment life. The PX3 includes an internal disconnect for safe servicing without shutting down power to the panel. Its slim design fits within a standard 6-inch-deep wall and supports real-time monitoring via on-unit display or remote options, making it ideal for critical power environments.
- Space-saving form factor—mounts flush to panelboard and fits in standard 6″ wall depth
- ISM technology with thermally fused MOVs, copper busing, and filtering for reliable surge suppression
- Internal disconnect feature—allows safe maintenance without de-energizing the distribution panel
- Real-time monitoring—via built-in display and optional remote monitoring capabilities
- Certified for Type 1 & Type 2 applications—meeting UL 1449 5th Edition, cUL, UL 1283, UL 96A, IEEE, NEC standards
Description
The Panel Extension PX3 is a space-saving, externally mounted surge protection unit that attaches directly to the top or bottom of panelboards. This compact design panel surge protector offers full protection without consuming interior real estate. The PX3 uses the robust Integrated Suppression Module (ISM), which blends thermally fused MOVs, surge-rated copper busbars, and advanced filtering. The PX3 Panel Surge Protector provides high-reliability transient suppression with direct bus connectivity. Moreover, this minimizes wiring impedance and improves clamping performance.
Panelboard Surge Protection Device (SPD)
Installation is simple via its slim footprint: for standard 6-inch wall depth and a removable end-plate that enables flexible top or bottom mounting. Maintenance is made safer and simpler thanks to an internal disconnect, thus avoiding the need to de-energize the panel. The PX3 supports both on-unit display and optional remote monitoring through features like MasterMind, ensuring real-time surge data accessibility.
Panel Extension PX3 protects and prevents costly downtime and equipment failure. The PX3 Panel Surge Protector features an externally mounted surge solution. This enables it to be physically attached to the top or bottom of any panelboard providing a low-profile surge solution. Moreover, PX3 offers an internal disconnect option, allowing safer and easier repairs without having to cut power to the distribution panel.
- Extends equipment life by reducing equipment degrading high-frequency line noise and transients
- Quick and easy installation – reflects an innovative approach to simplify and also enhance the user experience
- Easy accessibility to real-time data via display located on the unit or remotely
