<p>When it comes to safeguarding electrical systems from unexpected voltage spikes, the Surge Protection Device (SPD) detailed here is a robust and reliable choice for industrial and commercial applications. Designed with precision, this SPD effectively protects sensitive equipment by swiftly responding to transient overvoltages.</p><p>Operating at a rated voltage of 48 V, this device can handle significant surges with its rated current capacity of 12.5 kA. Its Type 2 classification makes it suitable for use in secondary surge protection circuits, providing an essential layer of defense against potentially damaging electrical disturbances.</p><p>The SPD is crafted from durable thermoplastic material, ensuring longevity and resilience under various conditions. With an IP20 degree of protection, it is designed for indoor environments where physical ingress protection from solid objects larger than 12 mm is required.</p><p>Installation is straightforward thanks to its compatibility with standard 35 mm DIN rail mounting systems. This ease of installation ensures that integration into existing setups can be done efficiently without unnecessary complications.</p><p>Measuring just 27 mm in width, 98 mm in height, and 66 mm in depth, the compact design allows for space-saving installations within control panels or distribution boards. Despite its small footprint, the device weighs a manageable 138 g which further aids in easy handling during setup.</p><p>This SPD operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -40 to 80 degrees Celsius making it versatile enough for varied climatic conditions found across Australia. The rapid response time of less than or equal to 25 nanoseconds ensures quick action against surges thereby minimizing potential damage to connected equipment.</p><p>The device&#39;s interrupt rating stands at an impressive 35 A while offering a cross-section accommodation for conductors ranging from as small as 1.5 sq-mm solid/flexible up to large stranded cables measuring up to 35 sq-mm or flexible ones at up to 25 sq-mm.</p><p>Compliant with EN 61643-11 standards and approvals this SPD assures users of adherence to international safety benchmarks providing peace of mind regarding product reliability and performance integrity.</p><p>With a voltage protection level capped at &lt;=0.5 kV coupled with its rated short circuit current capability reaching up to an impressive figure of 25 kA this surge protector demonstrates excellent protective characteristics necessary for maintaining the stability and safety of electrical installations amidst unpredictable power disruptions.</p>
