| Surge Protection Selection Criteria |
| When determining the true value of a surge protective device (SPD) there is a minimum number of criteria that must be met in order to achieve the highest performing and the safest most reliable SPD. Able Power Products has incorporated all these critical features in the design, testing and manufacture of every surge protection product and component they sell. |

| Hybrid Gas Discharge Tube / MOV Circuit |
 |
A sealed glass-enclosed device containing a special gas mixture trapped between two electrodes, which conducts electric current after becoming ionized by a high voltage spike. Gas tubes eliminate MOV leakage which may triple the life of your surge protector and can handle higher surges. |
|
| Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) |
| A voltage dependent resistor (MOV). The resistance decreases with rising voltage. MOV’s prevent damage from transient events by acting as a voltage “clamp” or limiting voltage to a desired level. |
 |
|
| Combined GDT / MOV Circuit |
| This circuit uses each component to do what each does best: the gas discharge tube divers the high energy portion of the transient and the MOV provides the fast, accurate clamping of the low energy leading edge. |
