Liebert AccuGuide
®
High-Performance Interconnect Assemblies for
Systems with Parallel Surge Protection Devices
Interconnect made of conventional wire in conduit distributes
line power, but reduces the performance of surge suppressors.
The patented Liebert AccuGuide interconnect allows you
to get the most from your SPD by significantly reducing
clamping voltages.
Liebert AccuGuide interconnect assemblies can maximize
performance by transmitting transients generated by
lightning and switching with minimal voltage drops.
Each Liebert AccuGuide unit is an assembly of patented
coaxial cables. (One Liebert AccuGuide coaxial cable is
required for each protected mode.) Each cable minimizes
inductance (through reduced coaxial aspect ratios), and
features an extremely low impedance (2-10) unattainable
in conventional interconnect. As a result, the assembly
delivers practically the entire surge to the Surge Protection
Device (SPD). Clamping voltages are greatly reduced and
system performance is improved.
Liebert AccuGuide is designed to aid any installation.
This accessory is especially valuable in cases where the
SPD cannot be installed close to the point of protection
(greater than five feet). In conventional interconnect,
v
oltage loss increases with length — in excess of 16V/ft/kA
f
or an ANSI/IEEE, C62.41 combinations wave. In contrast,
Li
ebert AccuGuide losses are under 4.2V/ft/kA for an
im
provement of 400%.
