Frequently Asked Questions
What does leakage current free mean and why is it important?
Leakage current free means the device does not allow any continuous current to flow through it during normal operation, enhancing safety and reducing energy loss. This is particularly important in sensitive installations to avoid nuisance tripping and maintain system integrity.
Can this device be used in single-phase systems?
This specific model is designed for 3-phase, 400V TNC systems. For single-phase applications, a different SPD model suited to those requirements should be selected.
How does the remote indication system work?
The remote indication system uses a microswitch that changes state when the device is functioning correctly (green) or needs replacement (not green), allowing remote monitoring of the SPD status.
What is the significance of the 8/20 µs waveform in the max discharge current rating?
The 8/20 µs waveform is a standard test impulse that simulates typical surge currents caused by lightning or switching events. The max discharge current rating of 20kA (8/20) indicates the device can safely handle surges of this magnitude.

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.
