Surge protection devices, also known as SPDs or transient voltage surge suppressors (TVSS), are critical components in modern electrical installations. Lovato Electric offers a comprehensive range of these devices designed to protect sensitive equipment from voltage spikes caused by direct or indirect lightning strikes and switching transients. These devices feature visual indicators to signal end-of-life and incorporate removable cartridges for simplified maintenance. The range includes Type 1 and Type 2 monoblock units, Type 1 and Type 2 with plug-in cartridges, Type 2 with plug-in cartridge, and dedicated Type 2 units for photovoltaic applications. Key technical parameters include impulse withstand voltages: Type 1 and 2 units handle up to 4 kV, Type 2 units up to 2.5 kV, and the broader 1, 2, and 3 categories cover 1.5 to 4 kV. These devices are available in various configurations, including single-pole (1P) and multi-pole (3P, 4P) versions, with nominal discharge currents (In) and maximum discharge currents (Imax) tailored to specific protection needs.
These surge protection devices are essential in a wide range of sectors, including industrial automation, commercial buildings, residential complexes, and renewable energy installations. They are typically installed in main distribution boards (MDBs), sub-distribution boards (SDBs), and control panels to protect PLCs, drives, sensors, and other sensitive electronics. In photovoltaic systems, dedicated Type 2 SPDs safeguard inverters and string combiners from surge events. They are also critical in telecommunications, data centers, and healthcare facilities where equipment uptime is paramount.
The Lovato Electric surge protection category includes several key subcategories and article codes. The main product lines are the Type 1 and Type 2 monoblock SPDs (e.g., codes starting with "SPD"), Type 1 and Type 2 with plug-in cartridges (e.g., "SPD-P" series), and Type 2 for photovoltaic applications (e.g., "SPD-PV" series). Article codes typically follow a pattern like "SPD1-40-440" where "SPD1" indicates Type 1, "40" the nominal discharge current (In) in kA, and "440" the maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc) in V. Similarly, "SPD2-20-275" denotes a Type 2 device with 20 kA In and 275 V Uc. The plug-in cartridge versions use codes like "SPD-P1-40-440" for the base unit and "SPD-C1-40-440" for the replacement cartridge.
