NEMA type Surge Protective Device Kists JL-250G&JL-250F

The JL-250G and JL-250F provide efficient anti-surge protection and are ideal for smart light poles and outdoor lighting systems. The JL-250G is an 8-pin socket with wire terminals that meets the ANSI C136.41 standard. Its main body is made of PBT material and it comes with a 4 AWG power cord and a 16 AWG signal line. A high-temperature wire configuration is available to meet the needs of complex environments. The JL-250F has a built-in surge protection module with both differential and common mode surge suppression functions. When inserted into the JL-250G, it can effectively protect against voltage fluctuations, thereby improving system stability and safety.

In addition, the JL-250F features over-temperature protection, leakage protection, and fuse protection. It is also equipped with LED indicators and a central grounding hole design, ensuring visualisation of the equipment’s operating status and facilitating safe grounding. The maximum operating voltage is 342 V; a 480 V version will be available in the future to meet a variety of application needs.

and this rear terminal can be used waterproof cable connector type.
Center hole of receptacle by screwdriver rotate receptacle to direction point north, then light controller clockwise plug-into it.

JL-250F Surge Protection Feature

The JL-250F is a miniature surge protection module that can be inserted between the JL-250G and the controller. It integrates leakage protection, a built-in fuse and over-temperature protection functions, ensuring the lamp fixture device operates safely and stably.
The JL-250F module features a dual protection mechanism that combines leakage current suppression with a metal oxide varistor (MOV). This provides differential and common mode surge protection, safeguarding against transient high voltage and current surges in the line.
Center ground hole design.
Diagnostic LED, This module is equipped with LED work indicators that allow users to monitor the protection status in real time.
1.2/50us, it is towar to open open circuit waveform, and 8/20us, special in short circuit waveforms.
Present, this type module can support 347VAC, or 480v version available. however, 480V type JL-250F is developing in our teach team.

2 kinds Surge Protection Mode

Surge differential mode protection: This protection mode mainly targets transient surge voltages generated between the phase line and the neutral line (L-N), the phase line and the ground line (L-G) and the neutral line and the ground line (N-G). It absorbs and disperses electrical energy quickly to prevent surge voltages from entering the lamps and controllers.
Surge Common Mode Protection: For the surge voltage generated by changes in the line-to-ground voltage, the entire system is protected from common-mode interference.
This dual protection mechanism effectively suppresses both differential- and common-mode high-voltage transients, greatly reducing the risk of equipment damage caused by lightning strikes and power grid fluctuations. It also improves the reliability of light poles and their ancillary equipment.
