Product Description

Product Description

Surge Protective Devices are the vigilant guardians designed to shield your electrical systems from transient surge conditions. These sudden spikes, often stemming from formidable events like lightning, can unleash hundreds of thousands of volts, potentially causing immediate or intermittent equipment failure. Interestingly, only 20% of these transient surges arise from such dramatic occurrences, while a significant 80% originate internally. These smaller, yet frequent surges, can gradually degrade sensitive electronic equipment over time, endangering your facility's operational efficiency.

Product Features
1. 1P+N phase protection for both AC and DC systems, ensuring versatile and comprehensive coverage.

2. Features a pluggable module design, facilitating effortless installation and maintenance for ultimate convenience.

3. Boasts high discharge capacity with a lightning-fast response, securing your equipment against surges efficiently.

4. Equipped with double thermal disconnection devices, it guarantees enhanced reliability and protection.

5. Includes a green window indicator that alters color upon fault detection, alongside remote alarm control, providing you real-time alerts and enhanced safety.

A power surge is a fleeting overvoltage event that poses a serious threat to electrical devices, often leading to their premature failure. These surges are notorious for damaging and shortening the lifespan of various systems including:

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

According to the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, the average home is a treasure trove with approximately $15,000 worth of equipment at risk from surges.

Common Causes of Surges:
It's startling to know that about 80% of power surges stem from internal sources within the premises.

Internal Sources:

• The switching on/off of large appliances can create significant surges.
• Surges can also arise from faulty wiring or loose connections, posing a hidden threat.
• Overloaded circuits, short circuits, or ground faults further exacerbate the risk of surges.
• Power recovery activities are another potential internal trigger for surges.

External Sources:

• Lightning, with its raw and unpredictable power, is a common external cause of surges.
• Surges can also result from damage inflicted on power lines.
• Utility power grid switching can unexpectedly induce surge conditions.

NEW 2020 National Electrical Code Requirements
All newly constructed and renovated homes are mandated to be safeguarded by Listed and Approved Type 1 or Type 2 Surge Protective Devices, ensuring a robust defense against surges.

Type 1:
A permanently connected Surge Protective Device designed to defend against both external and internal surges, installable inside or outside the home for versatile protection.

Type 2:
A permanently connected Surge Protective Device, typically installed in or adjacent to the breaker box, offers a fortification against both internal and external surges.

Type 3:
Provides extra protection as a point-of-use Surge Protective Device. Essential for use alongside Type 1 or Type 2 SPDs to meet the 2020 code requirements, ensuring comprehensive safety.

Utilize Type 1, 2, and 3 SPDs collectively for an unparalleled level of surge protection, safeguarding your valuable investments.

Installation Instructions

Selection of SPD:
To safeguard your power distribution prowess, selecting the right SPD is crucial. The main characteristics pivotal for defining a robust lightning protection system and choosing an SPD to secure your building's electrical installation include:

• SPD
  • quantity of SPD
  • type
  • assessing the level of exposure is vital to determine the SPD's maximum discharge current, Imax, ensuring optimal protection.
• Short circuit protection device
  • maximum discharge current Imax;
  • short-circuit current Isc at the point of installation.

The other characteristics for selection of an SPD are predefined for an electrical installation.

• number of poles in SPD;
• voltage protection level Up;
• operating voltage Uc.

This sub-section Design of the electrical installation protection system delves into the intricacies of selecting protection systems, tailored to the unique characteristics of the installation, the equipment you aim to shield, and the surrounding environment.

Location and types of SPD:


Connection of SPD:
Ensure SPD connections to loads remain as short as possible to effectively lower the voltage protection level (installed Up) at the protected equipment's terminals.

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