Protecta*Lite® Non-gapped Line Arresters Externally-gapped Line Arresters

Protecta*Lite is an arrester specifically designed and
configured to prevent lightning from flashing over
line insulation. There is no better way to enhance the
reliability of your grid during electrical storms.
Protecta*Lite is a line surge arrester (LSA) which is
engineered for each application. Hubbell’s product
family includes non-gapped (NGLA) and externally
gapped (EGLA) line arresters. The NGLA offering
is directly connected and includes a ground lead
disconnector, unless otherwise specified. Mounting
hardware, line and ground connections and even
insulators can be included depending on the needs of
each application.

Protecta*Lite protects transmission and distribution lines by protecting the air around the insulator from a lightning induced external flashover. The lightning surge is safely diverted to ground in a controlled manner and the resulting voltage is limited to a level below the insulation strength.
