Frequently Asked Questions
What does Type 1+2 surge protection mean?
Type 1+2 surge protection devices provide protection against both direct lightning strikes (Type 1) and switching surges (Type 2), ensuring comprehensive defence for electrical installations.
Can this SPD be used in a TN-C system?
No, the STPT12-12K275V-2PG is designed for TT and TNS systems and is not suitable for TN-C configurations.
How do I know when to replace the SPD?
The device features an indication system that shows green when operational and changes colour when replacement is needed, allowing easy maintenance checks.
Is the device RoHS compliant?
Yes, this surge protection device complies with RoHS standards, ensuring it is free from hazardous substances.

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.
