Typical Applications
-Protecting Rectifiers Against Lightning-Caused Failures

The Dairyland Rectifier Protector offers significant improvements in over-voltage protection of rectifiers where lightning-caused failures are a costly nuisance. The RP is unique in that it provides both over-voltage and over-current protection to the rectifier from lightning surge currents attempting to enter the DC output side of the rectifier. Where traditional arresters have failed to provide protection for rectifiers, the Dairyland RP addresses both modes of failure. While the device does not attempt to address other causes of failure, numerous clients have indicated that the majority of their failures have resulted from lightning affecting the rectifier from the DC output side. User experience has indicated near elimination of rectifier failures when the Dairyland Rectifier Protector has been applied.
