Surges may be caused by an indirect lightning strike but, the majority are caused by equipment being turned on or off within a facility. These surges damage components costing money to repair or replace as well as create unplanned downtime resulting in unfulfilled orders, missed deadlines, unreliable systems and/or dangerous situations. The GHX Surge Protective Device (SPD) Series for branch circuits safeguards components from transient overvoltage or surges by limiting the fault current to a load or the unit being protected.
The DIN-rail mounted, pluggable module device offers a compact footprint for panel design flexibility as well as a quick and easy installation. With UL and IEC compliance in one component, the Surge Protective Device (SPD) Series reduces inventory needs and simplifies allocation of parts.
The Surge Protective Device (SPD) Series is ideal for power distribution (load centers, transformers, generators), electrical loads (motors, fans, heaters, blowers, ballasts), industrial controls (programable logic controllers, motor controls, variable-frequency drives, proximity sensors, barcoding equipment, machine vision systems), computers and communications (LANs, WANs, intercoms, and fire, security, UPS or building management systems), and HVAC or medical equipment.
In modern age of electronics and technology, it is crucial to protect our devices from power surges and spikes. The use of surge protective devices (SPDs) can prevent damage to valuable electronics and equipment. Why are surge protective devices important? Power surges can happen at any time without warning, and they can cause severe damage to electronic […]
How to choose the right surge protector? Choosing the right surge protective device (SPD) and protective circuit breakers involves considering a wide range of parameters related to types of SPDs, circuit breaker arrangements, and risk assessment. Three rules of thumb for choosing surge protection Now that we’ve established that SPDs should be at the heart […]
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) […]
