If you desire a protector with an extra high maximum surge current use
the ESP M2 or ESP M4 series. If your supply is fused at 16 amps, or less, the
in-line protectors (ESP 240 or 120-5A (or -16A) and their ready-boxed
derivatives) may be more suitable. If you need to mount the display panel
separately from the main protector unit, use the ESP M1R series.

1
Temporary Overvoltage rating is for a maximum duration of 5 seconds tested to BS EN/EN/IEC 61643.
2
Minimum permissable load is 5 V DC, 10 mA to ensure reliable operation.
3
The maximum transient voltage let-through of the protector throughout the test (±5%), phase to neutral, phase
to earth and neutral to earth.
4
The electrical system, external to the unit, may constrain the actual current rating achieved in a particular
installation.
5
Rating is considered as the current capability of the protector for equipotential bonding near the service entrance.
