Surge Protective Device
Surge Protective Device
Advantages
The protection cartridge is easy to replace, no need to cut off the power
supply,
The implementation has been simplified by connecting Surge Protective
Devices to earth in parallel (shunt) and/or in series,
Less references.
The LSP surge protective devices offer is practical to implement and the references
can be easily chosen.
Lightning surge protection device (SPD) with plug in cartridge ensure general
protection of electric equipment and protection in common and differential mode for
domestic, industrial and commercial buildings. SPDs protect electric and electronic
equipment against transients, originating from lightning and switching transient
sources. For a residential building, SPD serves as “1st line of defence” when it is
installed at the main incoming power distribution board (DB).
The SPD is designed to be easily installed in power and control panels using standard
DIN-rail mounting brackets. This series of product offers 20,000 – 100,000 amps of
both normal and common mode surge protection.
The status of the surge protector modules can be monitored through the indicator
lenses or remotely through the alarm terminals (optional features). Available as an
option, the replacement cartridge allows simple replacement without the need to cut
off the power supply, Cartridges are available for all discharge currents (80kA, 60kA,
40kA, 20kA) with an indicator.
SPD effectively reduces the interference coupling that can occur from transient surge
voltages, even significantly below the limits prescribed by insulation coordination
according to EN 60664-3 / DIN VDE 0110-3. This means that the entire system is
exposed to less malfunction. We offer different products for different main types and
voltage levels. Even for photovoltaic (Solar energy systems) applications, there is
special protection according to IEC/EN 61643-31.

SPD type 2: Installed at distribution board (DB) within a building. The first gate to
prevent lightning strikes from entering your house via electricity supply line. The
Type 2 SPD is the main protection system for all low voltage electrical installations.
Installed in each electrical switchboard, it prevents the spread of overvoltages in the
electrical installations and protects the loads. Type 2 SPD is characterized by an 8/20
µs current wave.
SPD type 3: These SPDs have a low discharge capacity. They must therefore
mandatorily be installed as a supplement to Type 2 SPD and in the vicinity of
sensitive loads. Type 3 SPD is characterized by a combination of voltage waves
(1.2/50 μs) and current waves (8/20 μs).
The process is very easy, and you will see how little time
it takes to complete work. As we’ve said earlier, Smart
wifi MCB is a safe and secure option for your home.
