This article explains the working principle of SPDs<\/strong>, their applications in TNS, TN-C, and TT systems<\/strong>, and provides a selection guide<\/strong>\u00a0for choosing the right SPD.\r\n\r\n\"\"<\/a>\r\n

2. What is a Surge Protective Device?<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

2.1 Definition and Function of Surge Protective Devices<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nA Surge Protective Device (SPD)<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is a device designed to protect electrical systems from transient overvoltages by limiting surge voltage and diverting surge currents safely to earth.\r\n

2.2 Basic Working Principle of Surge Protection in Electrical Systems<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nSPDs operate by creating a low-resistance path to ground when voltage exceeds a certain threshold. This prevents damaging surges from reaching sensitive loads, such as lighting systems, control circuits, and electronic devices.\r\n

2.3 Types of Surge Protective Device (SPD)<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nType 1 SPD<\/strong>: Installed at the origin of the installation, capable of handling direct lightning currents.\r\n\r\nType 2 SPD<\/strong>: Installed in sub-distribution boards, provides protection against switching surges and indirect lightning.\r\n\r\nType 3 SPD<\/strong>: Point-of-use protection for sensitive equipment.\r\n
