Eaton | PSPD Series Surge Protective Device (SPD)

The PSPD series surge protective device (SPD) is a cutting-edge solution designed to shield electrical and electronic systems from damaging voltage spikes, transient overvoltages, and power surges caused by lightning strikes, electrical faults, or grid disturbances. By integrating PSPD series SPDs into your electrical setup, you can ensure the safety of sensitive equipment, minimize downtime, and prevent costly repairs.

Why Choose PSPD Series Surge Protective Devices?

1. High Surge Current Capacity
   Built to handle high surge currents (measured in kiloamperes/kA), PSPD SPDs provide robust protection against large electrical surges.
2. Ultra-Fast Response Time
   With a response time in nanoseconds, these devices offer instant protection, ensuring your equipment is safe from sudden voltage spikes.
3. Multi-Mode Protection
   PSPD SPDs protect across multiple modes, including:
   • Live to Live (L-L)
   • Live to Neutral (L-N)
   • Live/Neutral to Ground (L/N-PE)
4. Thermal Disconnect Safety
   Equipped with a thermal protection mechanism, the device automatically disconnects in case of overheating or failure, enhancing safety.
5. Easy-to-Read Visual Indicators
   Status indicators (e.g., green/red lights) provide real-time information on the device’s operational status, making maintenance simple.
6. Modular and Compact Design
   The modular design ensures easy installation, replacement, and scalability for various applications.
7. Compliance with Global Standards
   PSPD series SPDs meet international standards like IEC 61643 and UL 1449, guaranteeing reliability and performance.

Applications of PSPD Series SPDs

• Residential: Protects home appliances, entertainment systems, and smart devices.
• Commercial: Safeguards office equipment, servers, and HVAC systems.
• Industrial: Ensures the safety of machinery, control systems, and production lines.
• Telecommunications: Protects communication lines and network infrastructure.
• Renewable Energy: Ideal for solar and wind power systems, shielding inverters and other critical components.

Types of PSPD Surge Protective Devices

1. Type 1 SPD: Installed at the main distribution board to protect against direct lightning strikes.
2. Type 2 SPD: Used at sub-distribution boards to guard against indirect surges and residual lightning effects.
3. Type 3 SPD: Provides point-of-use protection for sensitive equipment, installed close to the device.

Installation Tips for PSPD SPDs

• Install the SPD as close as possible to the equipment being protected.
• Ensure proper grounding and bonding for optimal performance.
• Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and comply with local electrical codes.

Benefits of Using PSPD Series SPDs

• Enhanced Equipment Lifespan: Protects devices from surge-related damage.
• Reduced Downtime: Prevents operational disruptions caused by power surges.
• Cost-Effective Solution: Saves money by avoiding costly repairs and replacements.
