Surge Protection Devices (SPD) – AC and DC SPD
Eutroniks’ Type 2 Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) are designed for both AC and DC applications, available in 1, 2, 3, and 4 pole configurations. These devices are essential for protecting low voltage electrical installations from transient overvoltages resulting from indirect lightning strikes or switching operations. For low voltage applications, Eutroniks Type 2 SPDs ensure the safety and longevity of electrical systems by clamping voltage spikes and diverting excess energy away from sensitive equipment. In solar installations, these SPDs are crucial for protecting photovoltaic systems from surges caused by lightning strikes or grid disturbances, ensuring reliable and continuous operation. Eutroniks’ SPDs are engineered to provide robust protection while maintaining minimal residual voltage, making them ideal for a wide range of applications.
