Grounding resistance should be below 10 \u03a9 for effective diversion.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p data-start=\"4851\" data-end=\"5225\"><strong data-start=\"4851\" data-end=\"4873\">Practical example:<\/strong><br data-start=\"4873\" data-end=\"4876\" \/>In UPS-protected data centers, a Type 2 SPD is installed upstream of the UPS rectifier. It prevents voltage spikes from damaging UPS electronics and batteries. Our product line supports this: the SLP40-275\/3S+1 Type 2 SPD works with a BRSCB dedicated breaker, while the BR-30FU SPD integrates a built-in fuse for compact installations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 data-start=\"5232\" data-end=\"5271\">Common Misconceptions and Mistakes<\/h2>\r\n<p data-start=\"5273\" data-end=\"5348\">From years of engineering experience, I\u2019ve seen the same errors repeated:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ol data-start=\"5350\" data-end=\"6629\">\r\n \t<li data-start=\"5350\" data-end=\"5554\">\r\n<p data-start=\"5353\" data-end=\"5554\"><strong data-start=\"5353\" data-end=\"5397\">\u201cMy breaker protects against lightning.\u201d<\/strong><br data-start=\"5397\" data-end=\"5400\" \/>Wrong.
