| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What’s the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 SPD? | Type 1 SPD is designed for direct lightning strikes and installed at the service entrance. It handles high impulse currents (10/350 µs). Type 2 SPD protects downstream equipment from residual surges and switching spikes, typically installed in sub-distribution boards. |
| When do you need a Type 1 SPD? | Use a Type 1 SPD if your building is exposed to direct lightning or has an external lightning protection system (LPS). It’s essential at the main distribution board for commercial, industrial, or residential sites in lightning-prone areas. |
| How to test or maintain the device? | Type 1 SPDs usually require minimal maintenance. Check for visual fault indicators regularly and test remote signaling contacts if available. Replace the pluggable module if an alarm or fault is seen for continued protection. |
| Is this Type 1 SPD compatible with existing electrical panels? | Yes, most Type 1 SPDs, especially compact DIN rail designs, fit standard main distribution boards and support various earthing systems (TN, TT, IT). Always verify electrical ratings and conductor length requirements during installation. |
