What is DC SPD?

What is DC SPD?

DC SPD applied to the Din rail type protects the DC electric system from surge. Also, the system allows replacement of the protective element (MOV), ensuring convenience and reduced cost. However, as only the protective module is provided, other components should be added when the system is installed in accordance with the site condition.

Surge Protective Devices Overview

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 […]
