Interruptions cost electric consum-ers and utilities millions of dollars. Improve service by reducing interruptions caused by insulationflashovers initiated by lightning. Ohio Brass Protecta*Lite systems give cost effective protection to unshielded and supplemental protection for shielded transmission and distribution lines.

The theory is simple. Protecta*Lite consists of a metal-oxide surge arrester in parallel with the line insulation. During a surge, the arrester limits voltage across the insulation to a value below the insulator flashover voltage. Lightning surge current is diverted to ground in a controlled manner and service is not interrupted.

Lightweight, flexible design. Easy to install. Contact your OB representative for a performance estimate today, and see the cost savings and improved service possibilities for yourself.
