DESCRIPTION
The HE600 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 HE600 is a three phase, four 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"
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 HE600 has four 18" long, 12 AWG multi-stranded leads that are color coded for ease of
installation.
The HVPSI HE600 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 HE600 utilizes a single MOV per pole to reduce the potential load balancing/sharing problems during
operation.

SUGGESTED SPECIFICATIONS
The three phase, four wire Secondary Surge Arrester for
120/240 volt AC service or machine equipment shall be
a High Voltage Power Systems Model HE600. 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 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.
