Sandwich Block
The patented, UL-listed Sandwich Block® for AC power surge protection effectively protects where other surge suppression devices fail. The Sandwich Block offers the lowest let-through voltage in the industry which ensures equipment is protected from damaging electrical surges. The Sandwich Block is made by placing large, patented MOVs between heavy, aircraft-grade, aluminum plates that act as heat sinks. Each Sandwich Block is then assembled into our heavy duty equipment boxes and ready for your AC power application. Contact us to order your Sandwich Block solution.
Benefits of Sandwich Block Systems
- Reliably protects against lightning induced transients
- Low risk of punch through
