Choosing the Right SPD for Industrial Applications

Industrial facilities are constantly exposed to high-power machinery, voltage fluctuations, and harsh environmental conditions. Choosing the correct Surge Protective Device (SPD) is vital to prevent costly outages and equipment damage.

Key Factors to Consider

• Voltage Rating: Ensure compatibility with the system’s nominal voltage.
• Discharge Capacity: Higher kA ratings are required for heavy-duty equipment.
• Response Time: Faster response means better protection.
• Environmental Durability: IP-rated enclosures for dust, moisture, and heat.

Recommended SPD Placement

Install SPDs at service entrances, control panels, and motor control centers to ensure layered defense.

Industrial-grade surge protection is a smart investment that minimizes downtime and extends equipment life.
