Engineering Principles & Selection Guide for Surge Protective Devices (SPD)
Transient overvoltages generated by atmospheric lightning strikes or industrial inductive load switching can destroy sensitive electronic components within microseconds. At Zhejiang TMB Electric Co., Ltd., we manufacture high-capacity Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) and Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) / Spark Gap technologies that meet IEC 61643-11 (Low-voltage surge protective devices - Part 11) and IEC 61643-31 (SPDs for photovoltaic installations).
When engineering low-voltage protection systems for international infrastructure projects, distributors and electrical panel builders must consider key selection criteria:
- Continuous Operating Voltage (Uc / Ucpv): The rated maximum continuous voltage must exceed the maximum operating voltage of the network by at least 10% to 20%. For solar PV strings, calculate the open circuit voltage (Voc) at lowest ambient temperatures to prevent premature thermal runaway.
- Nominal & Maximum Discharge Current (In / Imax): In (8/20 μs wave) confirms device endurance under repeated surges, while Imax denotes the ultimate single-event discharge capacity without destruction.
- Voltage Protection Level (Up): Ensure that Up is substantially lower than the impulse withstand voltage rating (Uw) of downstream equipment (e.g., inverters, EV charger controller boards, PLCs).
- Neutral-to-Earth Protection (NPE): In TT and TN-S grounding schemes, spark-gap-based NPE modules isolate the neutral from earth under normal conditions, completely eliminating continuous earth leakage currents.
