SPCT2 xPole Surge Protection

The SPCT2 surge protection devices assist you in establishing comprehensive protection against overvoltage events.

Test class 2 tested surge protection devices are mandatory for new installations. These devices shall protect your fixed installation against overvoltage events if no external lightning protection is established.

according to
EN 61643-11
SPD test class
T2

Core features

  • Preconfigured SPDs for single phase and three phase applications
  • SPCT2 SPDs are class 2 tested
  • SPCT2 280 and 335 types are additionally class 3 tested (combined)
  • Suitable SPD for systems without external lightning protection system
  • Auxiliary contacts available as accessory
  • Type range covers CT1 and CT2 according IEC/EN 60364-5-53

Additional overvoltage protection for switching overvoltages

Designed to protect most electrical consumer installations against switching overvoltage or indirect lightning strikes. At the very least T2 devices are recommended and are already mandatory in many European countries.

Necessity of overvoltage protection

Installation of surge protection devices is intended to ensure voltage limitation in accordance with insulation coordination, avoiding sparking which could cause a fire. Overvoltage protection devices should be installed to reduce the effects of overvoltage. This applies to the electrical systems of all buildings from residential homes up to hospitals, communications infrastructure, and other public buildings, aswell as commercial/industrial sites, for example hotels, banks, shops and factories.

Prevent the spread of overvoltages

Type-2 SPDs are installed in each electrical switchboard to prevent the spread of overvoltage in an electrical installation. Eaton's SPCT2 is used for the protection against transient overvoltage caused by switching-operations and indirect lightning strikes.
