Intermediate Class Surge Arresters 235-75
GENERAL
Cooper Power Systems has set a new
standard of excellence for polymer-
housed intermediate class surge
arresters. The UltraSIL™ Housed
VariSTAR® Type UI Intermediate
Class Arresters incorporate the indus-
try recognized superior silicone rubber
housing. This housing is applied over
a gapless MOV internal design.
Cooper Power Systems Type UI
Arresters have passed the IEEE
Standard C62.11 – 2004™ test
requirements.
