When it comes to safeguarding electrical systems from unpredictable surges, the right Surge Protection Device (SPD) is crucial. For those in industrial and commercial sectors, this SPD offers a reliable solution with its robust specifications.
Operating at a rated voltage of 750 V and capable of handling a rated current of 12.5 kA, this device ensures your systems are well-protected against sudden spikes. Its Type 2 classification according to EN 61643-11 standards confirms its suitability for medium-level protection scenarios often encountered in industrial environments.
The device's compact design—27 mm wide, 98 mm high, and 66 mm deep—makes it an ideal fit for space-constrained installations. It mounts seamlessly onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail, offering ease of installation without compromising on performance.
Engineered from durable thermoplastic material and weighing just 172 g, this SPD is built to last while maintaining a lightweight profile. Its IP20 degree of protection indicates that it's safeguarded against solid objects larger than 12 mm but should be installed in enclosures where moisture ingress is not a concern.
One standout feature is its impressive response time of less than or equal to 25 nanoseconds (ns), ensuring rapid reaction to over-voltage events. The interrupt rating stands at an efficient 80 A, providing additional assurance during unexpected load conditions.
With operational temperature ranges from -40°C up to +80°C, this SPD can withstand harsh environmental conditions typical in many Australian settings. The cross-section accommodation includes connections for various wire types: up to 1.5 sq-mm solid/flexible wires for smaller circuits and up to 35 sq-mm stranded or 25 sq-mm flexible wires for more demanding applications.
Additionally, the voltage protection level remains at or below an effective threshold of <=3 kV—a critical parameter that minimizes risk during transient voltages by clamping them efficiently before they reach sensitive equipment downstream.
In terms of safety under fault conditions, the device handles short circuit currents rated up to an impressive 25 kA without failure—an essential attribute when dealing with potential faults within complex electrical networks.
This surge protection solution provides peace of mind through its blend of technical excellence and practical design features tailored specifically for professional use cases where reliability cannot be compromised.
