Why LSP’s 3 Phase Surge Protectors Stand Out

At LSP, we engineer our 3 phase surge protectors to perform under the most demanding conditions. Whether you need an industrial 3 phase surge protector, a commercial 3 phase panel SPD, or a residential 3 phase surge arrester, LSP ensures top-tier performance.

High-Quality MOV Materials
We use the premium LKD MOVs in our 3 phase surge protectors, providing excellent durability. Type 1 3 phase surge protectors can withstand impulse discharge current (Iimp) up to 25kA(10/350 μs) and maximum discharge current (Imax) up to 100kA (8/20µs), ensuring superior performance.
Innovative Tripping Device
Our independently developed low-temperature tripping device enhances arc extinction, ensuring the 3 phase surge protector can safely disconnect from the power grid during a fault, enhancing arc extinction and guaranteeing continuous safety.
Flame Retardant Housing
The plastic housing is made of PA6+GF30% flame-retardant material, effectively preventing spontaneous combustion of the SPD.
Thick Metal Components
We use metal lead pins with 0.8 mm thickness and 8 mm width—45% above average—allowing 3 phase surge protectors to handle high potentials without breaking.
Rigorous Testing
All our 3 phase surge protectors undergo extensive testing, including lightning impulse tests, thermal stability, 48-hour salt spray, glow wire, and current impulse tests, to ensure reliable and safe performance.

About 3 Phase Surge Protector

A 3 phase surge protector is essential for residential, commercial, and industrial installations, ensuring compliance with IEC 61643 standards.

What is a 3 Phase Surge Protector?

A 3 phase surge protector (also known as a 3 phase surge protection device) is an essential electrical safety device designed to safeguard wiring systems, consumer units, and sensitive equipment from transient overvoltages on three-phase AC power lines. These devices are widely used as 3 phase SPD for residential, commercial, and industrial installations to prevent damage caused by lightning strikes, switching operations, or power surges.

What is a 3 Phase Surge Protector SPD

3 Phase Surge Protector Working Principle

Surge protection devices (SPDs) consist of at least one non-linear component, such as a varistor or spark gap, whose electrical resistance changes depending on the applied voltage. Their main function is to divert discharge or impulse currents and limit overvoltages reaching downstream equipment.
Learn how surge protection devices 3 phase operate to protect critical systems. Here’s a clear explanation:
  • Normal operation: In the absence of surges, the SPD remains inactive. It behaves like an open circuit, maintaining isolation between the active conductors and earth without affecting system performance.
  • During a surge: When an overvoltage occurs, the SPD rapidly lowers its impedance—within just a few nanoseconds and diverts the impulse current safely to ground. At this moment, it behaves like a closed circuit, ensuring that the overvoltage is clamped to a safe level for connected electrical equipment.
  • After the surge: Once the transient has passed, the SPD restores its high impedance state and resumes its open-circuit condition, ready to protect the system again.
  • Safe Disconnection: When the SPD reaches the end of its service life, the integrated disconnector automatically isolates the protection module to ensure safety and system reliability.
