The SPCT2 surge arrester types are the most common installed surge protection devices designed for all low voltage electrical installations. This surge protection devices are often required by the national wiring regulations. The Type 2 SPDs are installed in each electrical switchboard to prevent the spread of overvoltage in any electrical installations and protect various loads. SPCT2 is used for the protection of low voltage distribution systems against transient overvoltage caused by direct and indirect lightning strokes and switching operations.
Maximum continuous operating voltage (UC): 75 – 460 VAC
Test class II according to IEC 61643-1+A1
EN test class: T2
Auxiliary switch ASAUXSC-SPM for remote message transmission can be mounted onto the device
available with already installed busbar for easy and fast installation on RCDs.
Why should I care about overvoltage protection?
Overvoltage events can occur within your installation from internal or external sources. Switching actions of specific loads can cause harmful voltage spikes in your installation which could result in damages or fire hazard. Therefore, test class 2 tested devices are mandatory for new installations and are highly recommended to be retrofitted into existing applications.
For which applications can I use SPCT2?
The SPCT2 range can be used in residential settings, such as meter boards or sub distribution boards in homes or garages, as well as in commercial buildings such as hospitals, manufacturing plants, communication infrastructures and many more. In addition, the SPCT2 is suitable for integration into EV chargers, inverters, heat pumps or similar applications.
A revolutionary way to secure your PV investment
The SPPVR surge protection device family ensures secure and durable photovoltaic installations by providing robust defense against overvoltage on the DC side, thus preserving equipment longevity and securing PV system durability in residential and commercial structures.
