Surge Protective Devices

A complete range of Surge Protective Devices (SPD) for protection against ligthning and overvoltages.

Lightning strikes create surge currents which generate overvoltages in the power distribution and data transmission networks. The OVR surge protective devices divert the surge current harmlessly to the ground and limit overvoltage to values compatible with the equipment connected to the network.

Surge arresters

Official name: Surge Protection Device (SPD)
IEC 61643-1: International standard for surge protective devices connected to low-voltage power distribution systems
Surge arresters Type 1: for buildings protected by lightning rods
High capability: 15 kA up to 100 kA in 10/350
Low protection level: 1,8 kV (electronic triggering)
Very small size compared to performance.
Surge arresters Type 2: OVR SPD’S - in the other situations or in coordination with Type 1
Pluggable lightning arresters
Safety reserve
Optical monitoring bloc
Modular range
Surge arresters Type 3 - to protect equipment against small over voltages or in coordination with Type 2
