These types of surge arresters can be disabled when they receive a high impulse. Patented VG technology products offer gas discharge tube and MOV technology simultaneously. The incoming impulse is first dampened inside the gas so that the MOV can continue its duty without being damaged. <em><strong>Our VG technology surge arresters<\/strong> <\/em>can perform an unlimited number of dampings.
