When You Require The 
Ultimate In Surge Protection

In today's world, almost every business depends on

sensitive microprocessor-based electronics to conduct 

their day to day operations. This means that electric 

power line disturbances can disrupt or cripple equipment

causing a major loss in productivity — and money. 

Liebert understands this problem and offers a way to 

keep these power problems from getting into your 

facility in the first place.

The answer is the Liebert Interceptor

®

Series Active

Tracking

®

Filter. These series-connected systems

provide the highest level of protection with the lowest

UL 1449 clamping ratings available.

By closely controlling voltage at every location along

the sinewave, our Active Tracking filter technology

protects sensitive electronic equipment from the

potentially damaging effects of low-energy voltage

transients and the ringwaves that follow. The filter also

stores and releases energy to fill and reduce sinewave

spikes and notches.

Proven Performance

High-energy current diversion is handled by the

Interceptor's sophisticated parallel system of computer-

matched MOV (metal-oxide varistor) arrays. Each array

module is sand-encapsulated and screened to provide

exact current sharing and prevent component

degradation. Our patented, coordinated fusing is UL

Listed for 200kAIC at 600VAC to ensure absolute safety,

yet allow surge current capability to be attenuated.

The Interceptor Series Active Tracking Filter is UL

1449, UL 1283 and CSA Listed. Our manufacturing

facility is ISO 9001 Registered. Surge current ratings are

independently tested, so you can specify a Liebert

product with complete confidence. And we back every

Liebert Interceptor Series filter with the industry's only

five-year warranty for on-site labor.

Features That Make The Difference

The Industry's Best Attenuation Of Voltage

Transients Proprietary Active Tracking sinewave correction

filter continuously provides close voltage control at any

location on the sinewave.

The Industry's Best Attenuation Of 100 kHz Ringwaves

The Active Tracking filter system minimizes the aftershocks

of voltage transients and the inherent energy storage system

smoothes the sinewave by filling notches and reducing spikes.

Stringent, Independent Testing For Performance

UL 1449, UL 1283 and CSA Listed.

ANSI/IEEE C62.11, C62.41, C62.45 Categories A, B, 

and C3 tested.

Independently tested surge current ratings from 100kAmps

to 300kAmps.

Life cycle tested: will survive in excess of 12,000 10kAmp

surges per IEEE Category C3.

Engineered For Superior Surge Current Ratings 

And Long Life

Computerized "smart" array technology for surge protection.

Unique sand-packed silver fuse network allows rated surge

current to pass through without fuse operation.

Unprecedented redundancy offers expanded mean-time-

between-failure (MTBF).

Sinewave tracking EMI/RFI filtering.

Fast response time — less than .5 nanoseconds.

All modes of protection.

Compatible With All Linear Loads

Provides flexibility for a wide range of applications.

Modular Design For Ease Of Customization And Service

Enables you to specify an Interceptor system to match the

needs of a specific application. Also allows easy replacement

of surge modules if required. 

Sophisticated User-Friendly Diagnostics

On-line system monitoring/testing for all suppression

components in all modes of protection.

Standard features include: audible alarm, transient 

counter, door LEDs indicating unit status, individual 

module status LEDs, and Form C dry contacts for 

remote system integrity monitoring and indication 

of undervoltage, phase and/or power loss.

Optional features include: additional seven-digit transient

counter for normal mode, additional Form C dry contacts.
