When it comes to safeguarding your electrical systems against surges, this Surge Protection Device (SPD) offers a robust solution tailored for both industrial and commercial environments. Built to withstand the rigors of demanding settings, this SPD is designed with practicality and reliability in mind.
At its core, the device operates at a rated voltage of 230 VAC, making it compatible with standard Australian power systems. It boasts an impressive rated current capacity of 5 kA, ensuring that it can handle substantial surge events without faltering. The device's IP65 degree of protection signifies its resilience against dust ingress and water jets from any direction—ideal for installation in harsh or exposed locations.
Compact yet powerful, the SPD measures 49 mm in width, 50 mm in height, and has a depth of just 20.6 mm. Despite its small footprint, it's engineered to deliver uncompromised performance while being easy to integrate into existing setups. Its vibrant red thermoplastic housing not only provides durability but also ensures visibility within complex installations.
The operational temperature range from -40 to 80 degrees Celsius underscores its capability to function reliably under extreme conditions—whether you're dealing with scorching heat or freezing cold environments. Weighing merely 113 grams, it's lightweight enough for hassle-free handling during installation or maintenance.
Performance-wise, this SPD features an impressive response time of <=25 ns (for L/N) and <=100 ns (for L/N-PE), allowing it to react promptly during transient overvoltage events. With two poles and a cross-section accommodating up to 1.5 sq-mm wiring, it's versatile enough for various application requirements.
The voltage protection level stands at <=1.5 kV (L-N), <=1 kV (L-N), and <=0.85 kV (L-N), providing layered defense against different surge magnitudes. Additionally, it possesses a formidable lightning current carrying capability rated at 100 kArms—a testament to its robustness when faced with high-energy transients.
Classified as Type 2/Class II according to industry standards, this SPD is suited for secondary stage protection within multi-stage surge protective systems often found in commercial buildings or industrial facilities.
In conclusion, if you're seeking a reliable surge protection solution that's built on facts rather than frills—this device aligns perfectly with technical demands while offering peace of mind through proven performance metrics suitable for Australian conditions.
