Why Surge Protection Matters

Power surges occur more frequently than most realize. Lightning strikes, utility switching, and equipment cycling create electrical disturbances that gradually degrade sensitive components. While small surges often go unnoticed, they steadily compromise your equipment’s lifespan. Large surges can instantly destroy machinery, halt operations, and trigger expensive downtime.

Integrated surge protection isn’t a convenience—it’s essential equipment protection.

The American Rotary + Citel Partnership

Citel is a global leader in Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) trusted across industries ranging from telecommunications to heavy manufacturing. By partnering with Citel, American Rotary delivers industrial-grade surge protection directly inside your phase converter—shielding both the converter itself and every piece of connected equipment.

Protection Features:

  • Integrated Design – Built-in surge protection requires no additional installation
  • Proven Technology – Citel’s field-tested electrical protection solutions
  • Comprehensive Coverage – Protects phase converter and downstream equipment
  • Standard on AI Series – Included with every AI unit

Protect Your Operation

American Rotary phase converters deliver more than power conversion—they provide operational confidence. With integrated Citel surge protection, your equipment investment stays protected against unexpected electrical events saving you money and giving you peace of mind.

Your operation depends on reliable power. Make sure it’s protected power too.
