Hey guys,
I have a machine going to Mexico and they're requesting me to put a Surge Protector/Filter on the secondary 120vac of my 5kva transformer. The total max power consumption i have on the circuit is about 36A total at 120vac single phase. I have several items on this cicruit including an air conditioner, fume extraction system (vacuum), 24v power supply and a few other powered devices.
So how do I size this thing? They recommend one for me which was an Allen-Bradley but the documentation on the thing said it's good for 10 amps. Does that mean that it's only capable of having 10 amps continuous current running through it? because I need clearly about 36 for the application.
What rating should I be looking at to make sure it's going to work.
Please ask any questions I am not providing and help me choose a good model.
Thanks guys in advance!
Tim
