Sofielec SPD 50/60HZ 230/240v surge protector, also called lightning protector or overvoltage protector, is an electronic device that provides safety protection for various electronic equipment, instruments, and communication lines. It is mainly used to limit overvoltage and discharge surge current.
Surge refers to the peak value that exceeds the stable value instantaneously, including surge voltage and surge current. Surges in the power supply system mainly come from two reasons: external (causes of lightning) and internal (starting and stopping of electrical equipment and failures, etc.).
The characteristics of surges are often very short (overvoltage caused by lightning is often on the microsecond level, and overvoltage caused by electrical equipment is often on the millisecond level), but the instantaneous voltage and current are extremely large, which is very likely to cause damage to the power consumption. Equipment and cables pose hazards, so surge protectors are needed to protect them.
SZ-SPD 40 series surge protector is suitable for low-voltage AC power distribution 50/60Hz, 230/400V, and below IT, TT, TN-C, TN-S, TN-C-S, and other power supply systems can be connected in parallel on the power line for equal potential when lightning strikes. Mainly used to protect low-voltage customer electrical installations from surges caused by atmospheric discharge(e.g.to indirect lightning) or other operating instantaneous overvoltages.As a single voltage limiting device.Products in line with GB 18802.1.GB50057andIEC/EN 61643-11 standards.
This feature ensures that the SPD can be safely removed from the power grid in case of a malfunction, protecting the electrical system from potential damage. The visual indication signal also provides a clear indication of the status of the SPD, allowing for quick and easy identification of any issues. Overall, the it-in disconnector enhances the safety and reliability of the SPD, making it an essential component for any electrical system.
The protection device should be installed by a qualified technician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and local electrical codes. It is important to ensure that the device is properly grounded to provide effective protection against power surges and voltage spikes.
Additionally, regular maintenance and testing of the protection device is recommended to ensure its continued effectiveness in safeguarding the customer's equipment. It is also important to replace the surge protector if it has been damaged or if it has reached the end of its lifespan, as indicated by the manufacturer's guidelines.
Following these installation and maintenance guidelines will help to ensure the reliable and effective protection of the customer's equipment from electrical disturbances.
