Some Tips to Prevent Damage to Surge Protective Devices

Some Tips to Prevent Damage to Surge Protective Devices

Following in the footsteps of the previous article, let’s look at some tips to prevent the damage to surge protective devices (SPDs).

1. Overvoltage Conditions

As surge protective devices (SPDs) break is due to overvoltage conditions, choosing a suitable voltage for the surge protective devices (SPDs) is important.

2. Burn-in of Surge Protective Devices (SPDs)

Regular maintenance and replacement of surge protective devices (SPDs)  are recommended to ensure that the devices are functioning correctly.

3. Installation Location

The proper installation of the surge protective devices (SPDs) at the optimal location is vital to its performance.

4. Quality of Surge Protective Devices (SPDs)

It is essential to choose a high-quality surge protective device (SPD) made from reliable materials that can withstand the electrical loads and environmental factors.

5. Improper Maintenance and Regular Testing

Surge protective devices (SPDs) require regular maintenance and testing to ensure that they are operating correctly and within the manufacturer’s specifications.
