Residential Surge Protection schneider-electric.
Surge Protection Homeowners typically have a lot of money invested in expensive electronics and appliances (computers, washers, dryers, stoves, refrigerators, HVAC, etc). Most of these appliances and electronics are left unprotected from surges, which can cost homeowners thousands of dollars to replace if they were to be damaged.
Choosing the right SPD What is the “Best” surge protection? We recommend the following criteria in choosing your SPD: • Surge Current Capacity: This tells you what strength of power surge this unit can handle, the higher the better. For example, the HEPD80 has a Surge Current Capacity of 80kA. Higher rating generally means you will get a longer life expectancy. • Voltage Protection Rating: This is the measurement of what voltage the SPD allows past it, thus in theory the lower the better.
Joules 4 The Joule rating should not be a method for specifying or comparing SPD’s Due to the ambiguity of this SPD/joule conundrum, there is no recognized standard for SPD joule ratings. Joule ratings do not correlate with the performance or let-through voltage of the SPD. Because a joule is defined with time (Watt-second), there may be various numerations based on time.
