Frequently Asked Questions
What type of earthing systems is this SPD suitable for?
This device is designed for TT and TNS earthing systems, providing effective surge protection in these configurations.
Is this SPD suitable for single-phase systems?
No, this SPD is specifically designed for three-phase plus neutral (3Ph+N) systems operating at 230/400V.
How does the indication system work?
The device features a green indicator when operating correctly; if the indicator is not green, it signals that the unit should be replaced.
Can the modules be replaced without removing the entire device?
Yes, the pluggable design allows for quick and easy module replacement, reducing downtime during maintenance.

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.
