Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) are essential components for safeguarding electrical systems from transient voltage spikes. These spikes can originate from lightning, power surges, or switching operations, potentially damaging sensitive equipment. When selecting an SPD, consider its type (Type 1, 2, or 3), voltage rating, and maximum discharge current (Imax). Type 2 SPDs are commonly used for low voltage installations, including residential, commercial, and solar power systems. Proper selection and installation of SPDs enhance the reliability and longevity of electrical infrastructure, ensuring optimal protection for connected devices
Types of SPDs:
- Type 1 SPDs:
- Designed to be installed at the service entrance.
- Protect against high-energy surges... Read More
