Link Boxes with or without SVL: Understand which Solution is right for Your Project
In the realm of power management and power supply, link boxes play a crucial role in safety of power cables
These boxes serve as an essential channel for grounding connections and sheath voltage grounding, ensuring efficient and reliable operation.
Let’s first learn about SVL:
Sheath Voltage Limiters (SVLs) are protective devices designed to mitigate the impact of transient surges, which can occur due to lightning strikes, switching operations, or other electrical disturbances. By clamping the voltage to a safe level, SVLs prevent damage to sensitive equipment within the power system.
Sheath Voltage Limiters (SVL’s) provide valuable protection to expensive cable installations. They are highly reliable and effective at managing cable sheath voltage rises and the associated power flows that can result under fault conditions. SVLs are commonly used in Link Box applications.
Benefits of Link Boxes with SVLs
Enhanced Equipment Protection: SVLs provide a robust shield against transient surges, safeguarding your valuable equipment from potential failures.
Improved System Reliability: By preventing equipment damage, SVLs contribute to a more reliable and uninterrupted power supply.
Reduced Maintenance Costs: SVLs can help minimize downtime and maintenance expenses associated with surge-related failures.
Benefits of Link Boxes without SVLs
Lower Cost: Link boxes without SVLs generally have a lower upfront cost compared to those with SVLs.
Simplified Design: The absence of SVLs can lead to a simpler and more compact design for the link box.
Suitable for Low-Surge Environments: In environments with minimal risk of transient surges, link boxes without SVLs may be sufficient.
