AMETEK Power Instruments has announced the release of a new product for clearing surges on power line carrier systems, called Smart-Gap.

The Smart-Gap improves the performance and reliability of power line carrier communications by minimising the impact of any surge-induced loss of carrier signal, also known as carrier holes.

The Smart-Gap operates faster than traditional spark-gap solutions, extinguishing surges in less than 0.5 msec. to minimise any signal loss.

The maintenance-free Smart Gap is a suitable replacement for gas discharge-tube or air-gap protection, which require regular maintenance. The Smart Gap’s compact size provides an easy retrofit into existing line tuners and Coupling Capacitor Voltage Transformers (CCVTs).
