SPD Selection for Distribution Boxes

Home / SPD Selection for Distribution Boxes

Choose the SPD type based on the installation point first: service entrance, main panel, sub-panel, or equipment cabinet. A high kA rating alone is not enough; voltage compatibility, MCOV or Uc, Up or VPR, SCCR, and grounding all affect real-world performance. This guide contains detailed information on selecting the SPD or arrester as well as selecting the correct short circuit protective device and installations with multiple SPDs or arresters in the same installation. Wrong layout can let power surges hurt sensitive electronics, causing them to break early. Disclaimer: "This selection guide has been put together with great care to help you find the right surge protection devices for your application.
