  • P-Series SPD

Overview

The P-Series Power Supply Surge Protective Device (SPD) is a high-performance safety component engineered for electrical system engineers, facility management teams, and industrial power distribution operators seeking reliable protection for critical electrical infrastructure. Designed in strict accordance with IEC and GB standards, this industrial-grade SPD diverts harmful surge currents to an equipotential bonding system during surge events, limiting voltage to safe levels to safeguard sensitive electrical equipment. With up to 40kA surge protection capacity, intuitive fault indication, remote monitoring interfaces, and hot-swappable design, it ensures the safety, stability, and maintainability of mission-critical power systems.

Key Advantages of the P-Series Power Supply Surge Protective Device

High-Capacity Surge Protection for Critical Power Systems

This industrial surge protective device for power distribution delivers robust lightning and surge protection, with a maximum discharge current of up to 40kA (8/20μs waveform) across the range. It features ultra-low voltage clamping levels: <600V for 24V DC systems, <1.2kV to <1.7kV for 220V AC systems, minimizing voltage stress on sensitive power electronics and preventing irreversible equipment damage from surge events.

Ultra-Fast Response & Minimal System Impact

With a <25ns ultra-fast response time, this 40kA surge protection device for critical power systems reacts to surge events in nanoseconds, clamping overvoltage before it reaches protected equipment. It boasts ultra-low leakage current (<20μA for AC models, <10μA for DC models), eliminating standby energy waste and ensuring no interference with the normal operation of the power distribution system.

Comprehensive Safety & Real-Time Fault Monitoring

Built-in overcurrent protection and 1000A short-circuit tolerance eliminate the need for external disengagement devices, enhancing system safety. It features intuitive local fault indication and a standard remote signalling interface (250VAC/0.5A, 24VDC/0.5A), enabling real-time status monitoring in centralized control systems, rapid fault localization, and reduced maintenance response time.

Flexible Installation & Hot-Swappable Design

The SPD supports both rail-mounted and base-mounted configurations, compatible with 4-25mm² connection wires for diverse on-site installation needs. Its innovative hot-swappable design allows module replacement without full system power outages, drastically reducing downtime during maintenance and ensuring continuous operation of critical power systems.

Industry Applications

This remote monitoring SPD for electrical distribution is widely used in power supply circuits across industrial and commercial scenarios, including factory automation systems, data centers, commercial building power distribution, renewable energy power stations, transportation infrastructure, medical equipment power supply, and industrial control panels. It limits residual surge voltage to safe levels, protecting inverters, PLCs, instrumentation, power supplies, and other sensitive electrical equipment from damage caused by lightning strikes, switching overvoltage, and grid fluctuations.

Installation, Operation & Modular Maintenance Guide

Installation

Select the appropriate model based on the system’s nominal operating voltage, and mount the SPD via rail or base mounting per on-site requirements. Connect the wires in accordance with the wiring diagram, ensure reliable equipotential bonding and grounding, connect the remote signalling interface to the centralized monitoring system, and install the matched overcurrent protection device as specified.

Operation

During normal operation, the SPD maintains a high-impedance state with ultra-low leakage current, no impact on system operation. When a surge event occurs, it switches to a low-impedance state in nanoseconds, diverting surge current and clamping voltage to a safe level. In the event of component failure, the SPD triggers local fault indication and remote alarm signals, automatically disconnecting from the circuit to ensure system safety.

Maintenance

Leverage the hot-swappable design for module replacement without system power outages, and use remote monitoring for regular status checks without on-site inspection. Periodically verify grounding connection reliability and leakage current levels, with full maintenance procedures and troubleshooting guidance provided in the product user manual to ensure long-term protective performance.


Frequently Asked Questions


What level of surge protection does this power supply surge protective device provide for my critical power systems?

The P-Series delivers robust lightning and surge protection, with nominal discharge currents ranging from 10kA to 20kA and maximum discharge current up to 40kA (8/20μs waveform), depending on the model. It clamps surge voltage to <600V for 24V DC systems and <1.2kV to <1.7kV for 220V AC systems, with a <25ns ultra-fast response time and ultra-low leakage current, minimizing voltage stress on sensitive power electronics while maintaining system efficiency.


How to interpret the model notation of the P-Series SPD for correct selection?

The model notation follows the format S(P)-5(24)-L(D)2(3): S stands for signal type, P stands for power supply type; the number represents the rated operating voltage (e.g., 24 for 24VDC); L represents rail-mounted two-wire system, D represents base-mounted system; the final number represents the wiring system (2 for two-wire, 3 for base-mounted three-wire), enabling quick and accurate model selection to match specific power system requirements
