MPE’s World first sets tongues waggingIn a World first, MPE has launched a ground-breaking new range of HEMP protection filters designed specifically to fulfil the needs of the commercial market.

New 250A HEMP filter fills a gap in the marketHistorically within its range of HEMP protection filters, MPE has offered 200A and 400A variants to address powerline applications. However it has become apparent, particularly in the US defence and homeland security marketplace, that there are many applications which call for 225A as a requirement. In response, MPE has now designed and launched a 250A HEMP variant to meet the needs of those specific cases. |

As part of a 25-year relationship, in 2013 MPE was awarded the contract to supply a complete suite of HEMP powerline, control line and telephone line filters. |
