Surge protective device · 240 V 1-phase · Type 1 power quality filtering · Clean Volt CVS-240
What this product is for
The Clean Volt CVS-240 is a Type 1 surge protective device (SPD) for 240 V, 1-phase electrical systems. It is designed to limit damaging surge energy and reduce electrical noise on circuits feeding sensitive electronics, controls, appliances, and other connected equipment.
Use for
Use for 240 V single-phase panels and equipment in residential, commercial, agricultural, institutional, and industrial applications where surge protection and cleaner power are required. It is suited to installations where moderate recurring surges, EMI, and RFI can contribute to nuisance issues or premature equipment wear.
Avoid for
Avoid for systems that are not 240 V single-phase, or where a different voltage configuration such as 120/240 V split-phase, 120/208 V 3-phase, 347/600 V WYE, or 600 V delta is required. Confirm system voltage and phase before ordering.
Best for
Best for electricians and technical buyers specifying service-entrance or panel-mounted surge protection on 240 V equipment, especially where electronic controls, drives, automation components, or other sensitive loads are exposed to utility disturbances or internally generated surges.
Installed in
Typically installed at or near distribution equipment, service equipment, or dedicated 240 V equipment feeds. The manufacturer indicates response time is measured with 6 in (152 mm) leads, so short lead length is typically preferred for best installed performance.
Why this product exists
Many surge events are not major lightning events but smaller, repeated disturbances created by utility activity and connected electronic equipment. This SPD is built to clamp those events quickly while also helping reduce EMI/RFI and improve power quality conditions seen by downstream equipment.
Compared with similar products
Compared with basic surge suppressors, the CVS-240 is positioned as a Type 1 SPD with patented fail-safe varistor technology, bi-directional protection, and low clamping performance for a 240 V 1-phase system. It is intended for buyers looking for both surge protection and power quality filtering rather than a basic point-use suppressor.
Typical buying guidance only: panel-mounted SPDs are commonly selected where whole-system protection is preferred over relying only on plug-in devices. Actual performance depends on installation conditions, conductor length, grounding, system layout, and local electrical code.
