The product shown in the image is a Surge Protective Device (SPD), also known as a surge suppressor or surge protector. It is a component of an electrical installation protection system designed to safeguard electronic equipment from damage.
Specifications
- <p>Key features and functions of a Surge Protective Device:</p><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>Protection from overvoltage:</strong> SPDs are designed to limit transient overvoltage caused by factors such as lightning, large appliances turning on, or other network operations. </li><li><strong>Surge current evacuation:</strong> The device works by connecting in parallel on the power supply circuit and evacuating peak voltage or surge current to the earth, thereby limiting the amplitude of the overvoltage to a non-hazardous level for the electrical installation. </li><li><strong>Versatile application:</strong> SPDs are used to protect various types of equipment, including electronic, electrical, data communication, and telecommunication systems. </li><li><strong>Types:</strong> Standards define different types of SPDs for low voltage electrical installations, generally categorized as Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3, depending on their discharge capacity and intended use location within the power supply network. </li></ul><p><br></p>
