Frequently Asked Questions
What does "leakage current free" mean for this SPD?
Leakage current free means the device does not allow any continuous current to flow through it during normal operation, preventing nuisance tripping and ensuring high reliability in sensitive environments.
Can this device be used in DC systems?
No, this SPD is designed specifically for AC systems with a nominal voltage rating of 230/400V and is not suitable for DC applications.
How do I know when to replace the SPD?
The device features a visual indication system: green means the SPD is functioning correctly, and if the indicator is not green, the device should be replaced.
What is the maximum backup fuse rating for this SPD?
The maximum backup fuse rating is 63 A [gG], which protects the SPD from short circuit currents beyond its withstand capability.

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.
