# High Voltage DC LED Driver with 20kA Surge Protection for 10kV Applications

## Introduction to High Voltage DC LED Drivers

In the realm of industrial and outdoor lighting applications, high voltage DC LED drivers have become increasingly important. These specialized drivers are designed to operate in demanding environments where reliability and durability are paramount. The BRRL DC 20kA 10kV LED driver represents a cutting-edge solution for applications requiring robust surge protection and high voltage operation.

## Key Features of the BRRL DC 20kA 10kV LED Driver

The BRRL series LED driver stands out with several exceptional features that make it ideal for challenging applications:

  • 20,000 Amp surge protection capability
  • Designed for 10kV high voltage applications
  • High efficiency DC-DC conversion
  • Wide operating temperature range
  • Compact and rugged design

## Understanding the 20kA Surge Protection

Why Surge Protection Matters

In high voltage applications, electrical surges can be particularly destructive. The 20kA surge protection rating of the BRRL driver means it can withstand lightning strikes and other high-energy transients that would destroy conventional LED drivers.

This level of protection is especially crucial for:

  • Outdoor lighting in lightning-prone areas
  • Industrial facilities with heavy electrical equipment
  • Remote installations where maintenance is difficult

## Applications for 10kV LED Systems

Where High Voltage LED Drivers Excel

The 10kV capability of the BRRL driver opens up numerous applications where standard LED drivers cannot operate:

  • High bay lighting in industrial facilities
  • Street lighting with long cable runs
  • Airport runway lighting
  • Tunnel and underground mining lighting
  • Oil and gas facility illumination
