CLiP Current Limiting Protector
The G&W Electric CLiP is a 2.8–38 kV current limiting protector for fault current mitigation on system upgrades and transformer protection, sold and supported in Texas and Oklahoma by Ryan Sales.
- 2.8-38kV
- up to 200kV BIL
- up to 5000A continuous
- up to 120kA sym interrupting
- ultra high-speed sub-cycle operation
Overview
The CLiP is a compact, sealed current limiting protector for 2.8 to 38kV systems that carries up to 5000A continuously while providing ultra-high-speed fault interruption up to 120kA symmetrical. It lets utilities and industrials upgrade system capacity without replacing existing switchgear, reduce fault energy at transformers, bypass reactors and close bus ties safely. Indoor, outdoor, pole, structure or enclosure mounting keeps installation flexible.
