230V AC Surge Protector for Residential Applications, 20kA In protector

Product Description

Product Description

Our Surge Protective Devices are expertly designed to shield your electrical systems from transient surge conditions. These devices offer robust defense against large single surge events, such as lightning, which can unleash hundreds of thousands of volts, posing a threat of immediate or intermittent equipment failure. Notably, lightning and utility power anomalies contribute to merely 20% of transient surges. Intriguingly, a staggering 80% of surge activity is generated internally within facilities. Although these internally generated surges generally have a lower magnitude, their frequent occurrence and continuous exposure can insidiously degrade the performance and lifespan of your sensitive electronic equipment.

Product Features
1. Versatile 1P+N phase protection suitable for both AC/DC systems, ensuring comprehensive safety.

2. Convenient pluggable module design for effortless installation and hassle-free maintenance.

3. Exceptional high discharge capacity with rapid response time for superior surge protection.

4. Equipped with double thermal disconnection devices, offering enhanced and reliable protection.

5. Innovative green window indicator that shifts upon fault occurrence, complemented by remote alarm control for proactive monitoring.

A power surge represents a brief overvoltage event that threatens electrical devices, often leading to equipment failure and reduced longevity. Surges are notorious for their potential to harm and shorten the lifespan of various household systems and appliances, including:

• Heating and Air Conditioning Systems
• Washers and Dryers
• Water Heaters
• Ranges & Refrigerators
• Lighting
• Entertainment Systems

Did you know that the National Electrical Manufacturers Association reports the average home contains approximately $15,000 worth of equipment that could be vulnerable to surge damage?

Common Causes of Surges:
Expert estimates suggest that a significant 80% of surges originate from internal sources within the premises.

Internal Sources:

• Sudden surges often occur when large appliances are powered on or off.
• Faulty wiring or loose connections can also trigger surge events.
• Overloaded circuits, short circuits, or ground faults are common internal surge triggers.
• Power recovery incidents can also contribute to surges.

External Sources:

• Lightning strikes are a classic example of external surge sources.
• Physical damage to power lines can lead to surge events.
• Utility power grid switching is another potential external surge source.

NEW 2020 National Electrical Code Requirements
The latest 2020 code dictates that all new and renovated homes must be equipped with Listed and Approved Type 1 or Type 2 Surge Protective Devices, ensuring maximum safety and compliance.

Type 1:
A permanently connected Surge Protective Device, Type 1 offers comprehensive protection against both external and internal surges. It can be installed either inside or outside the home.

Type 2:
This permanently connected Surge Protective Device is installed in, or adjacent to, the breaker box, offering defense against internal or external surges.

Type 3:
For additional safeguarding, the Type 3 is a point-of-use Surge Protective Device. It must be used in conjunction with Type 1 or Type 2 SPDs to comply with the 2020 code requirements, providing optimal protection.

For unparalleled protection, it is advised to use Type 1, 2, and 3 SPDs in tandem, ensuring the highest level of defense against surges.

Installation Instructions

Selection of SPD:
For an optimal power distribution system, the primary characteristics critical for defining a lightning protection system and selecting an appropriate SPD to safeguard an electrical installation within a building are as follows:

• SPD
  • Quantity of SPD
  • Type
  • Level of exposure is crucial for determining the SPD's maximum discharge current, Imax.
• Short Circuit Protection Device
  • Maximum discharge current, Imax;
  • Short-circuit current, Isc at the installation point.

Additional characteristics for selecting a SPD are predetermined for an electrical installation, ensuring seamless integration.

• Number of poles in SPD;
• Voltage protection level, Up;
• Operating voltage, Uc.

This Sub-section Design of the Electrical Installation Protection System This segment provides an in-depth exploration of the criteria for selecting the protection system based on installation characteristics, equipment to be guarded, and the surrounding environment.

Location and Types of SPD:


Connection of SPD:
Ensure that SPD connections to the loads are minimized in length to effectively lower the voltage protection level (installed Up) at the terminals of the protected devices.

The cumulative length of SPD connections to both the network and the earth terminal block must remain within 50 cm.
