Frequently Asked Questions
What type of surge protection does this device provide?
The STPT12-12K320V-1P provides Type 1+2 surge protection, suitable for both lightning impulse currents and switching surges in single-phase systems.
Can this SPD be used in three-phase systems?
No, this particular model is designed for single-phase systems only (277V L-N).
How does the indication system work?
The device features a green indicator when operational. If the indicator is not green, it signals that the SPD needs to be replaced.

Protection system of coordinated stages: Type 1, 2 and 3 SPDs
The SPDs of a surge protection system must be able to withstand the discharged current and provide a Ures level (residua l voltage) lower than the Ue peak voltage that the equipment can withstand. Most of the times it is not possible to achieve this with just one SPD, especially because the intensity of the surge is not known, and because of the induction of overvoltages when conductors exceed 10m.
The optimal system of protection is the 3-STEP approach, in which successive stages are combined in the performance of high discharge capacity devices and devices with an optimal voltage protection level (low). This is addressed by the definition of "Types" or "Classes" of SPDs according to the type of transient pulses to which each protected zone in the installation is subject to.
