The Linear 2500-1944 is a 120/230V hardwire suppressor for Linear / OSCO gate operator power protection applications. It is used to reduce the effect of voltage spikes and transient events on sensitive operator electronics, especially control boards, motor drives, transformers, and accessory power circuits.
Surge suppression is especially important on gate systems because the operator is often installed outdoors with long wiring runs, metal fencing, communication wiring, and vehicle detection accessories. A suppressor can help reduce damage risk, but it does not replace proper grounding, bonding, weatherproofing, or code-compliant electrical work.
This part should be selected by the original Linear / OSCO part number and voltage requirement. A hardwired suppressor should not be added or replaced casually because incorrect line-voltage wiring can damage the operator or create a safety hazard.
This item is commonly associated with the following Linear / OSCO parts, operators, or applications. Confirm the original part number, operator model, voltage, and parts diagram before ordering.
| Manufacturer | Linear / OSCO / Nortek |
|---|---|
| Product Type | Hardwire surge suppressor |
| Part Number | 2500-1944 |
| Voltage | 120/230V |
| Application | Gate operator electrical protection |
| Compatible Operator Type | Select Linear / OSCO operators when specified |
| Installation | Hardwired line-voltage component |
| Notes | Requires correct grounding and qualified installation |
If an operator has repeated board failures, inspect grounding, incoming voltage, conduit, water intrusion, accessory wiring, and surge protection as a complete system rather than replacing boards only.
Line-voltage surge protection should be installed by a qualified technician or electrician. Do not work inside an energized operator cabinet or bypass disconnects and safety procedures.
It helps protect compatible gate operator electrical circuits from voltage transients and surge events.
It is commonly listed as a 120/230V hardwire suppressor.
No surge device can guarantee protection from lightning. Proper grounding, bonding, wiring, and protection layout all matter.
Only if the manufacturer documentation specifically calls for that use. This listing is for a hardwired 120/230V suppressor.
Incorrect line-voltage wiring can damage equipment or create an electrical hazard.
