Surge Protection
For Business-Critical Continuity
Liebert ACG Series
AccuGuide High-Performance Interconnect Assemblies For
Systems With Parallel Surge Protection Devices
Interconnect made of conventional wire in conduit distributes
line power, but reduces the performance of surge suppressors.
The patented Liebert ACG Series (AccuGuide) interconnect
allows you to get the most from your SPD by significantly
reducing clamping voltages.
Liebert ACG Series interconnect assemblies can maximize
performance by transmitting transients generated by
lightning and switching with minimal voltage drops.
Each Liebert ACG Series unit is an assembly of patented
coaxial cables. (One AccuGuide coaxial cable is required
for each protected mode.) Each cable minimizes
inductance (through reduced coaxial aspect ratios), and
features an extremely low impedance (2-10) unattainable
in conventional interconnect. As a result, the assembly
delivers practically the entire surge to the Surge
Protection Device (SPD). Clamping voltages are greatly
reduced and system performance is improved.
Liebert ACG Series is designed to aid any installation.
This accessory is especially valuable in cases where the
SPD cannot be installed close to the point of protection
(greater than five feet). In conventional interconnect,
voltage loss increases with length — in excess of 16V/ft/kA
for an ANSI/IEEE, C62.41 combinations wave. In contrast,
Liebert ACG Series AccuGuide losses are under 4.2V/ft/kA
for an improvement of 400%.
