How to choose the best technology for surge protective devices

To choose the best technology for surge protective devices, we should consider the following technical parameters (include but not limited to):

1. Type of surge protective devices according to EN61643-11/IEC 61643-11

2. Nominal Voltage (Un)

3. Maximum Continuous Operating Voltage (Uc) /Maximum Continuous Operating Voltage for PV System (Ucpv)

4. Voltage Protection Level (Up)

5. Nominal Discharge Current (In)

6. Maximum Discharge Current (Imax)

Introduction to SPD and its role

In an electrical systems, SPDs are usually installed in tap-off configuration (in parallel) between the live conductors and the earth. The operating principle of SPD can be similar to that of a circuit breaker. In normal use (no overvoltage): the SPD is similar to an open circuit breaker. When there is an overvoltage: the SPD […]
