DESCRIPTION
The HE510 is a MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) based hardwired Secondary Surge Arrester, often referred to as a
Lightning Arrester. The device is designed to protect electrical equipment from damaging effects of Spikes (+) and
Notches (-) caused by lightning, utility switching, insulation arcing, electrical motor cycling, and other large or
sudden changes in electrical power flow on incoming AC power lines.
The HE510 is a two pole, single phase, three wire arrester intended to protect 120/240 VAC systems. The epoxy
encapsulated arrester is designed to be easily installed in any position indoors or outdoors utilizing the integral 1/2"
NPT threaded nipple and supplied metal lock nut.
The housing is molded from flame retardant plastic that is both weather and UV resistant, and complies with the UL
standard for strength and flame resistance properties. The arrester is sealed with UL component recognized epoxy
potting compound. The HE510 has three 18" long, 12 AWG multi-stranded leads that are color coded for ease of
installation.
The HVPSI HE510 is ideal protection for outdoor lighting and pole lamps, panelboards, oilfield pumps, workshops,
irrigation and sump pumps, refrigeration systems, farm equipment including milking machines and poultry
processing equipment, electric motors and controls, heat pumps and air conditioning equipment and many other
electrical devices.
The HE510 utilizes a single MOV per pole to reduce the potential load balancing/sharing problems during
operation.

SUGGESTED SPECIFICATIONS
The two pole, single phase, three wire Secondary Surge
Arrester for 120/240 volt AC service or machine
equipment shall be a High Voltage Power Systems
Model HE510. The lightning arrester shall be of a single
MOV per pole design and provide protection for
Category C Transient Surges as defined in ANSI C62.41
(Formerly IEEE Std. 587-1980) without degradation of
the components. The surge protector shall protect
between each line and neutral/ground conductor. The
lightning arrester shall be UL listed as a Secondary
Surge Arrester UL category OWHX. The enclosure shall
be molded of fire retartant plastic. The unit will be
sealed with a UL component recognized epoxy potting
compound to minimize moisture and pollution intrusion.
A one-half inch conduit nipple and metal lock nut shall
be provided. 18 inch, stranded 12 gauge color coded
leads shall be provided. The arrester shall carry a one
year warrantee.
HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SYSTEMS, INC. reserves the right to make changes in these
specifications at any time and without notice in order to supply the best product
possible.
