The importance of flame retardant shell of surge protector is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Safety performance guarantee (due to the excellent flame retardant performance of V0 grade materials, surge protectors using V0 grade shells can more effectively prevent the spread of fire and reduce the risk of fire when encountering extreme situations such as fire or short circuit.)

Prevent the spread of fire: As part of electronic equipment, if the shell of the surge protector has good flame retardant properties, it can effectively prevent the rapid spread of fire when encountering a fire source, thereby reducing the occurrence of fire accidents or reducing the damage caused by fire.

Protect equipment safety: The flame retardant shell can protect the electronic components inside the surge protector from the impact of fire to a certain extent, ensuring that the equipment can still maintain a certain stability or at least not become a helper for the expansion of the fire when a fire occurs.

2. Comply with industry standards and specifications (V0 grade usually means that the material has very high flame retardant properties. In the combustion test, when the V0 grade material burns under the specified conditions, the flame will automatically extinguish within a limited time, and it will not ignite the flammable materials such as the cotton pad below, nor will it drip ignitable particles.)

Meet regulatory requirements: In many countries and regions, the flame retardant properties of the shell of electronic equipment are subject to strict regulations and standards. As an important power protection device, the flame retardant properties of the shell of the surge protector must meet the corresponding industry standards and safety specifications.

Improve product competitiveness: Surge protectors with good flame retardant properties are more competitive in the market and can win the trust and favor of more consumers.

3. Extend the service life of equipment

Reduce fire damage: The flame retardant shell can reduce the damage to the equipment caused by fire to a certain extent, thereby extending the service life of the surge protector.

Resist high temperature environment: In addition to flame retardant properties, some high-quality flame retardant materials also have good high temperature resistance, which can maintain stable physical and chemical properties in high temperature environments, further extending the service life of the equipment.

4. Actual cases and data support

In actual applications, many fire accidents are caused by poor flame retardant properties of electronic equipment shells. Therefore, improving the flame retardant properties of the surge protector shell is of great significance for preventing fire accidents.

Relevant test data show that the shell materials that meet the flame retardant standards such as UL94 can quickly extinguish themselves or reduce the burning speed when burning, thereby effectively controlling the spread of fire.

In summary, the importance of flame retardant of the surge protector shell cannot be ignored. It can not only ensure the safety performance of the equipment, comply with industry standards and specifications, and extend the service life of the equipment, but also effectively prevent the occurrence of fire accidents in practical applications. Therefore, when designing and producing surge protectors, Thor Lightning Protection only produces surge protectors with V0-level shells.

Therefore, it is also recommended that customers carefully choose surge protectors with V1-level shells, which have extremely low safety and shorter service life than V0-level surge protectors.
