Product Description

Product Description

Surge Protective Devices are expertly engineered to safeguard against transient surge conditions. Monumental single surge events, like lightning, can unleash hundreds of thousands of volts, posing risks of immediate or sporadic equipment failure. However, it's intriguing to note that lightning and utility power anomalies only account for a mere 20% of these transient surges. The vast majority, a significant 80% of surge activity, originates internally. While these internal surges might be smaller in magnitude, their frequent occurrence can lead to the gradual degradation of sensitive electronic equipment within the facility, threatening longevity and performance.

Products features
1. Comprehensive 1P+N phase protection for both AC and DC systems

2. Innovative pluggable module, ensuring effortless installation and maintenance

3. Exceptional high discharge capacity, with ultra-quick response time

4. Dual thermal disconnection mechanism, offering superior and reliable protection

5. Intuitive green window alteration upon fault detection, complemented by remote alarm control for added security

A power surge, known as a transient overvoltage event, can inflict damage on electrical devices and is a notorious culprit for electrical equipment failure. Surges are capable of not only damaging but also shortening the lifespan of:

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

According to insights from the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, a typical home harbors approximately $15,000 worth of equipment vulnerable to surge-related damage.

Common Causes of Surge:
It's fascinating to learn that an estimated 80% of surges originate from internal sources

Internal Sources:

• Fluctuations from large appliances turning on and off
• Compromised safety from faulty wiring or loose connections
• Hazards from overloaded circuits, short circuits, or ground faults
• Risks from power recovery processes

External Sources:

• Natural phenomena like lightning
• Incidents like damage to power lines
• Occurrences like utility power grid switching

NEW 2020 National Electrical Code Requirements
All newly constructed and renovated homes must be shielded by Listed and Approved Type 1 or Type 2 Surge Protective Devices, ensuring comprehensive protection.

Type 1:
A steadfastly connected Surge Protective Device designed to guard against both external and internal surges. It can be installed either inside or outside the home, providing versatile protection.

Type 2:
A permanently connected Surge Protective Device meant to be installed in or adjacent to a breaker box. Offers robust protection against both internal and external surges.

Type 3:
An additional layer of protection. This Point-of-use Surge Protective Device is essential when used in conjunction with Type 1 or Type 2 SPD to fulfill the 2020 code requirements.

For the most comprehensive protection, employ the use of Type 1, 2, and 3 SPDs.

Installation Instructions

Selection of SPD:
When it comes to safeguarding your power distribution system, selecting the ideal Surge Protective Device (SPD) is crucial. The primary characteristics that define an effective lightning protection system and guide you in choosing the right SPD for your building's electrical installation include:

• SPD
  • Quantity of SPD
  • Type
  • The level of exposure is critical to determine the SPD's maximum discharge current, known as Imax.
• Short Circuit Protection Device
  • Maximum discharge current, Imax;
  • Short-circuit current, Isc, at the installation point.

Additional characteristics for an SPD's selection are usually predefined for any electrical installation.

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

This sub-section Design of the Electrical Installation Protection System offers an in-depth analysis of the criteria essential for selecting an optimal protection system. It considers the installation's specific characteristics, the equipment needing protection, and the surrounding environment.

Location and Types of SPD:


Connection of SPD:
To enhance protection, SPD connections to loads should be minimized in length, effectively reducing the voltage protection level (installed Up) at the protected equipment's terminals.

For optimal performance, ensure the total length of SPD connections to both the network and the earth terminal block does not exceed 50 cm.

RED: Immediate Replacement Required
As soon as the indicator turns RED, it signifies that the product has reached the end of its life and must be replaced to ensure continued protection.
