CENTURION Surge Protector — Plug-In Gate Motor Protection

Product Description

The Centurion Surge Protector is a plug 'n play filter capacitor device designed to protect gate motors from lightning strikes, voltage spikes, and power fluctuations. It requires virtually no wiring — it simply plugs into the mains connector of a compatible Centurion gate motor, redirecting excess electrical energy safely to earth before it can reach the motor's controller (PCB). It's a low-cost, first line of defence for protecting a significant investment in gate automation equipment.

Why It Matters

When power is restored after load-shedding, a general power failure, or a lightning strike nearby, the resulting voltage spike can cause irreparable damage to a gate motor's power supply and controller PCB. Fitting a surge protector significantly reduces this risk, helping to avoid costly repairs or full controller replacement down the line.

Key Features

• True plug 'n play design — connects directly to the mains connector inside the motor housing, with pre-made connectors and no wiring required.
• Protects against lightning strikes, voltage spikes, and incoming power fluctuations, redirecting excess electrical energy safely to earth before it reaches the gate motor controller.
• High surge capability for reliable protection even during severe power events.
• Effortless, fast installation — fits neatly inside the motor and can be secured in place with a simple zip-tie; typically installed in minutes.
• Compact design that tucks away cleanly inside the motor housing.
• Built-in internal temperature fuse, which automatically disconnects power in the event of an overload or fault — preventing overheating and reducing fire risk.
• Superior reliability through effective filtration, specifically engineered for a perfect fit and optimised performance with Centurion gate motors.

Compatibility

Designed for seamless integration with Centurion gate motors, including:

• D5-Evo
