Surge Protective Devices

SPD Class 1
SPD Class 2
SPD Class 3

Limit surge energy to electrical equipment with surge protective devices.

SPD Class 1

OVR Type 1 and Type 1+2 are designed to discharge high current surges without any destruction to the installation. Type 1 and Type 1+2 SPDs are placed at the entrance point of the installation, in the main distribution board for a global protection of this installation.

Main Features:

  • limp 25kA and 12.5kA
  • 3 types of follow current (lf) 50, 15 and 7kA
  • Spark gap and varistor technology

SPD Class 2

OVR Type 2 and Type 2+3 are designed to protect electric installations and sensitive equipment against indirect surges with ensuring a low protection level (Up). It is characterized by its capacity to safely discharge current with 8/20 µs wave form.

Main Features:

  • Imax 20kA, 40kA and 80kA
  • Up 1kV, 1.4kV and 1.5kV
  • Uc (a.c/d.c) 75V, 150V, 275V, 350V, 440V, 600V and 760V

SPD Class 3

OVR Type 3 surge protective devices shall be installed as close as possible from the sensitive equipment to protect. Tested with a 1,2/50 – 8/20 current combination wave generator, they ensure a very low protection level voltage value.

Main Features:

  • Imax 10kA
  • Up 900V
  • Uc 275V and 440V
