Two Pole Single Module SPD for Roadway & Parking Lighting Projects in Abu Dhabi
When working on public lighting projects in Abu Dhabi, particularly those governed by TAMM and ADDC standards, it’s essential to select components that meet rigorous safety and technical specifications. One such component is the Surge Protection Device (SPD) – critical for protecting LED luminaires against electrical surges in outdoor environments.
⚡ Why Surge Protection Is Mandatory for Roadway Lighting Projects?
According to the Abu Dhabi Lighting Manual – Version 3.0, LED luminaires installed in roadways and parking areas must be provided with SPDs that conform to:
- IEC/EN 61547 up to 6 kV, or
- IEEE/ANSI C62.41.2 Scenario I, Location Category C up to 6kV/6kA
- Additionally, the SPD must protect against common-mode and differential-mode surges and connect to L, N, and PE lines.
The SPD should be capable of:
- Handling a minimum of 10kV/10kA discharge
- Offering visual status indication (Green/Red)
- Designed to fail safely before luminaire failure
- Installed in series with the luminaire’s internal SPD
