Product Description

Product Description

Our Surge Protective Devices (SPDs) serve as formidable guardians against the unpredictable threats of transient surge conditions. These devices are engineered to withstand and mitigate the devastating impact of large, singular surge events such as lightning strikes, which can unleash voltage spikes reaching hundreds of thousands of volts, causing immediate or sporadic equipment failure. However, it's crucial to note that only 20% of transient surges arise from external sources like lightning or utility power anomalies. A staggering 80% are generated internally within the facility. Despite their smaller magnitude, these frequent surges pose a significant risk by gradually degrading sensitive electronic equipment over time. With continuous exposure, even these less intense surges can lead to malfunction or reduce the lifespan of your vital electronic assets.

Key Product Features
1. Comprehensive 1P+N phase protection designed for both AC and DC systems, ensuring robust defense.

2. User-friendly pluggable module design facilitates effortless installation and maintenance, saving you time and effort.

3. Superior discharge capacity with an ultra-quick response time, providing formidable protection against surges.

4. Equipped with dual thermal disconnection devices, this ensures enhanced reliability and safety.

5. An innovative green indicator window alerts you to faults and simultaneously provides remote alarm control, enhancing security and awareness.

A power surge, characterized by a brief overvoltage event, poses a significant threat to electrical devices, often leading to equipment failure. These surges can inflict damage and reduce the operational lifespan of:

• Heating and Air Conditioning Systems, which are vital for maintaining comfort and air quality.
• Washers and Dryers, essential for household convenience and hygiene.
• Water Heaters, crucial for ensuring a steady supply of hot water.
• Ranges & Refrigerators, which are the backbone of kitchen functionality.
• Lighting systems, integral for both practical and aesthetic purposes.
• Entertainment Systems, providing leisure and relaxation at home.

According to the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, the average home harbors approximately $15,000 worth of equipment that is vulnerable to surge damage.

Primary Causes of Power Surges:
Research shows that a significant 80% of power surges originate from internal sources.

Internal Sources Include:

• The operation of large appliances, which can cause fluctuations when turning on or off.
• Faulty wiring or loose connections, which pose a hidden but serious risk.
• Overloaded circuits, short circuits, or ground faults, all of which can trigger unexpected surges.
• Power recovery processes, which can inadvertently generate surges.

External Sources Include:

• Lightning strikes, notorious for their destructive surge impact.
• Damage to power lines, which can disrupt the flow and create surges.
• Utility power grid switching, a common external cause of surges.

NEW 2020 National Electrical Code Requirements
All new and renovated residential properties must now be safeguarded by Listed and Approved Type 1 or Type 2 Surge Protective Devices, ensuring comprehensive surge protection.

Type 1 SPDs:
These are permanently connected Surge Protective Devices that guard against both external and internal surges. They can be installed either inside or outside the home, offering flexible protection options.

Type 2 SPDs:
Also permanently connected, these devices are installed in or adjacent to breaker boxes, providing robust protection against both internal and external surges.

Type 3 SPDs:
These offer additional, point-of-use protection and must be used in conjunction with Type 1 or Type 2 SPDs to comply with the 2020 code requirements, ensuring optimal safety and device longevity.

For the utmost protection, it is recommended to use a combination of Type 1, 2, and 3 SPDs, providing a comprehensive defense against all potential surge threats.

Installation Instructions

Selection of SPD:
To safeguard your building's electrical installations, selecting the right SPD is crucial. Consider the power distribution system's characteristics which define the lightning protection system. By understanding these attributes, you ensure optimal protection with a suitable SPD.

• SPD
  • quantity of SPD
  • type
  • Assess the level of exposure to determine the SPD's maximum discharge current, known as Imax. This defines the SPD's ability to handle high-energy surges effectively.
• Short circuit protection device
  • maximum discharge current Imax;
  • Consider the short-circuit current Isc at the installation point to ensure robust protection and compatibility.

Other selection criteria for an SPD are standardized for any given electrical installation for consistency and safety.

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

This sub-section Design of the electrical installation protection system delves into detailed criteria tailored to your installation's unique characteristics, the equipment it protects, and the surrounding environment to ensure comprehensive protection.

Location and types of SPD:


Connection of SPD:
Ensure SPD connections to loads are as brief as possible. This minimizes the voltage protection level (installed Up) at the equipment's terminals, enhancing protection.

Keep the total SPD connection length to the network and earth terminal within 50 cm to maintain efficacy and safety.
