is uniquely positioned to design, manufacture
and deliver fully customized solutions that
meet the specific needs of its customers.
Operations personnel are cross-trained at
each location and the company is capable
of working around the clock to design,
prototype, develop and manufacture quick
product turnarounds.
Strikesorb Benefits
Maintenance Free No thermal disconnects or
internal fuses which are most often the cause
of failures and unnecessary maintenance.
The advantages are lower clamping voltages,
elimination of voltage surge when a fuse blows, low
maintenance and no replacement parts.
High Surge Current Capability Provides protection
against lightning strikes ranging from 60kA to
200kA (8/20s) and 5kA to 25kA (10/350s).
Low Let-Through Voltage and Optimum Protection
Level Strikesorb SPDs have low let-through
voltage and optimum protection levels which keep
sensitive equipment safe.
High Short-Circuit Current Rating Enabling
flexible integration and installation.
In-Line Connection Strikesorb can be installed
in-line, eliminating the cable length and resulting
in the lowest clamping voltage possible.
Wont Burn or Smoke Strikesorbs design
eliminates the use of any materials which could
burn or smoke. The aluminum casing and internal

Distribution Grade MOV Strikesorb technology
traces its origins to the electrical transmission
and distribution industry. It incorporates a large
diameter, distribution grade MOV that can handle
much larger surges without effecting performance.
UL Listed Strikesorb modules are fully UL
recognized as Type 2 component assembly
according to the UL1449 3rd Edition Safety
Standard.
IEC Compliant Strikesorb modules have been
certified by VDE as Class I and Class II SPD
products according to IEC 61643-11; Strikesorb 35
has been certified to the IEC standard for DC power
in photovoltaic applications.
Tested Performance Performance specifications
are actual test results conducted at internationallyrecognized independent laboratories.
Strikesorb Module Warranty Strikesorb
modules carry a 10 year warranty.
Rayvoss Protection
With Strikesorb 40 or Strikesorb 80 surge
protection at their core, Rayvoss industrial
solutions offer unsurpassed electrical
protection that meets the requirements of
telecommunications, power generation,
defense, transportation and other missioncritical applications. Rayvoss systems can
be customized with a variety of operating
voltages, configurations and cabinets,
conforming to industry standards and
certifications.
Rayvoss units are custom configured to suit any application and protect a
broad range of operating voltages for single or multiple phase distribution
types. They are available in a variety of enclosure sizes with optional
stainless steel and various monitoring features.
Raycap offers Rayvoss in a non-corrosive, stainless steel, IP67 rated cabinet for
use in harsh weather conditions.
Deploying Rayvoss and/or Strikesorb SPDs at critical points inside water and wastewater treatment plants protects
mission-critical equipment from damaging electrical surges and ensures the reliability of the public water supply and
water treatment plants.
Automated Fish
Ladders and Locks
Raycaps Strikesorb surge protection solutions are used inside hydroelectric power plants to help protect the sensitive
equipment inside from damage caused by electrical surges.
Mining Facilities
When a mining operation goes offline the
resulting downtime and repair costs can
be extremely high. It is important for mine
operators to install surge protective devices
to ensure continuous and maintenance-free
equipment operations above and below
the surface.
Coal Conveyor
At surface mining facilities Raycaps Rayvoss systems featuring Strikesorb SPDs are used to protect the automated
mining equipment from lightning strikes, power surges and fluctuations.
Raycaps surge protection solutions are deployed at oil and gas pumping, processing, and transfer stations to safeguard
vulnerable equipment and protect the entire operation from damage caused by lightning strikes.
Solar Energy
Photovoltaic Farm
Offshore Solar
Alternative Energy
Source
Solar power plants and photovoltaic systems benefit from the unique, high-performance capacity of Raycaps Strikesorb
lightning protection solutions. Strikesorbs high reliability really counts in remote locations.
Wind Energy
Lightning damage is a very real threat
to the wind farm operator. Wind turbine
manufacturers integrate Raycaps Strikesorb
40 and Strikesorb 80 modules into various
locations of the wind turbine. From the
wind turbine generator to the sensitive
communications and monitoring equipment
located inside, all systems must be protected
from powerful lightning surges.
Wind Power
Transformer
Station
Wind turbines are especially susceptible to damage from lightning strikes. When compared to costly
repairs and unnecessary downtime caused by lightning strikes, the relatively low cost of Raycap
solutions far outweighs the alternative.

Raycaps electrical protection solutions are a complement to transportation applications. The robust nature of the
products ensures they will stand up to any harsh environmental conditions, and their high reliability means they will
continue to protect mission critical systems for the long run.
Telecommunications Tower
Telecommunications, Emergency
Networks & Data Centers
The mandatory upgrading of many
emergency networks, and the advent of
3G, 4G and LTE technologies has made it
necessary to move radio equipment to the
tops of cell towers, exposing it to the elements
and in particular, lightning. Raycap is the
world leader in providing both AC and DC
power protection and connectivity solutions
for FTTA (fiber to the antenna) PTTA (power to
the antenna) and hybrid RRH (remote radio
head) architectures. Raycap solutions are
also ideal for data center electrical protection.
Communications
Antenna Farm
Raycaps extensive experience in providing lightning protection and connectivity solutions for telecommunication
companies offers peace of mind and a partner they can trust to help safeguard their network equipment.
