Reasons Why LSP's Type 2 SPDs Stand Out

These Type 2 SPDs are designed for installation at the service entrance of low-voltage systems or near sensitive equipment, efficiently diverting surge currents and safeguarding critical electrical devices from lightning strikes and other transient events.

Top MOV Materials
We use high-quality LKD MOVs in our surge protection devices. These MOVs offer excellent durability, withstanding a nominal discharge current of 20KA (10 impulses) and a maximum discharge current of 40KA (2 impulses) in 8/20 current impulse.
Innovative Tripping Device
Our independently developed surge protection low-temperature tripping device further enhances arc extinction effectiveness, ensuring the surge protector can safely disconnect from the power grid.
Flame Retardant Ability
Our plastic housing is made of enhanced flame-retardant material (PA6+GF30%), which effectively prevents the spontaneous combustion of SPD.
Thick Metal Parts
We use metal lead pins with a thickness of 0.8mm and a width of 8mm, which is 45% above average and can handle high potentials without breaking easily.
Rigorous Testing
Our spds are rigorously tested, including lightning impulse test, thermal stability test, 48-hour salt spray test, glow wire test and current impulse 8/20 and 10/350 test.

What is a Type 2 Surge Protection Device (SPD)?

A Type 2 surge protection device (SPD)—also known as Type 2 SPD, Class 2 SPD, Class C SPD, or Class II SPD—is typically installed downstream of a Type 1 SPD or at distribution panels. It provides reliable protection against residual surges, transient overvoltages, and lower-energy spikes, working in combination with Type 1 surge protective devices to safeguard electrical installations.

Type 2 SPD - 8/20 µs Waveform & Performance

The impulse current waveform of a Type 2 surge protection device (SPD) is defined according to IEC as follows:

O virtual origin of impulse current (Point of intersection with the time axis of a straight line drawn through the 10 % and the 90 % reference points on the stroke current front; it precedes by 0,1 T that instant at which the current attains 10 % of its peak value)

I peak current

i instantaneous value

Time 1 front time of impulse current

Time 2 time to half value on the tail of impulse current (typically T < 2 ms)

How does a Type 2 Surge Protection Device (SPD) Work?

Sensing the Surge: When a voltage surge occurs, the electrical system experiences a rise above its normal operating level. The Type 2 surge protection device (SPD) is connected in parallel with the system and continuously monitors the voltage.

Redirecting Excess Energy: Once the Type 2 SPD detects that the voltage exceeds its predefined clamping voltage, it activates and quickly diverts the excess energy to the ground, protecting connected devices from damage.

Suppressing the Voltage Spike: The Type 2 surge protector limits the magnitude of the overvoltage to a safe level, safeguarding both the electrical installation and sensitive equipment.

Returning to Resting State: After discharging the surge energy, the Type 2 SPD resets to its normal state and continues monitoring for future surges. It operates without interrupting the normal power supply, ensuring continuous system operation.

FAQ

Guess You Want to Know
Still Have Questions?

Why Choose a Type 2 Surge Protection Device?

A Type 2 surge protection device (SPD), also known as a Class 2 SPD or Type 2 surge protector, is designed to protect electrical systems from residual surges and transient overvoltages. It is typically installed downstream of a Type 1 SPD or at distribution panels to safeguard sensitive equipment and ensure reliable surge protection.

What is the Difference Between Type 1 and Type 2 SPDs?

A Type 1 SPD is designed to handle direct lightning strikes and high-energy surges at the service entrance, while a Type 2 SPD (Type 2 surge protection device) protects against residual surges and lower-energy transients downstream. Together, they provide comprehensive surge protection for electrical installations.

How Type 2 SPDs Safeguard Your Electrical System?

When a surge occurs, the Type 2 surge protector (SPD) detects the overvoltage and diverts the excess energy safely to the ground. It reduces voltage spikes, protects connected devices, and then returns to normal operation, continuously monitoring for future surges to provide reliable surge protection.

Where to Install a Type 2 SPD for Optimal Protection?

A Type 2 SPD should be installed at the main distribution panel, sub-distribution panels, or distribution boards to protect critical circuits. For optimal performance, place the Type 2 surge protection device as close as possible to the bus bars or circuit breakers to minimize wiring length and ensure fast surge diversion.

Can Type 2 SPDs be modular or pluggable?

Yes, many Type 2 AC surge protection devices feature pluggable modules, allowing quick replacement and easy integration with remote signaling for monitoring system status.

Are there specialized Type 2 SPDs for high-power systems?

Yes, there are three-phase Type 2 surge protection devices designed for commercial or industrial applications, ensuring effective surge diversion and protection for sensitive electrical equipment.
