Simtec

SIMTEC is a brand of surge arresters that include:

  •  Varistor surge arresters for photovoltaics
  • Spark-varistor surge arresters
  • Varistor surge arresters

SIMTEC arresters play a crucial role in reducing surge voltages. The range includes type 1 + type 2, type 2, and type 3 surge arresters.

Type 1 + type 2 surge arresters are used to limit potentials in power supply installations due to atmospheric surges and to protect against internal surges in the power supply network. They are mainly used in low-voltage installations in facilities such as residential buildings, offices, and public utilities. They are installed in cable  connectors or   switchgear.

Type 2 surge arresters prevent surges up to 1-1.15 kV. 

Type 3 surge arresters provide direct protection for selected sensitive electrical and electronic devices in both single and multi-family buildings. Most SIMTEC surge arresters  are certified by TUV Rheinland . They are quality controlled – directly in the production process, providing an additional guarantee of reliability, which is crucial for safety in products intended for protection and determines the safety of people and equipment.
