MTBF Statistics (Mean Time Before Failure)
Reliability Information Analysis Center (RIAC)
Established by the Department of Defense, the "MTBF" (Mean Time Before Failure) statistics dramatize the long term benefits of the Gesper Surge Protection Device (SPD) system. Beyond the electrical savings, herein lies the real value.

All units are approved for wet and hazardous locations.
Complete 3-phase unit in a 4X rated enclosure
All boards are conformal coated with an insulator to eliminate arcing.
Fault indicator pin will pop out if due to a surge event, one of the TMOVs is damaged
and no longer functional. The damaged TMOV is backed up by an undamaged TMOV, allowing for continued protection.
