The i20z’s works due to the EasyQuench technology.
This innovative operating principle ensures a high ability to discharge excessive energy of an overvoltage in the surrounding atmosphere.
The induced overvoltage will create an electrical power arc between the terminal electrode of an LLPD and the conductor clamp on a line. At first, the arc will be divided by a series of discharge chambers into a series of small arcs, which afterward are quickly quenched when the oscillating current of the grid crosses zero.
