Philips Surge Protection Devices (SPD) 10 kV / 10 kA

Philips Surge Protection Devices (SPD) 10 kV / 10 kA

The Philips Surge Protection Devices (SPD) 10 kV / 10 kA Protect professional LED fixtures and lighting systems against harmful voltage spikes and transients. Such surges can be caused, for example, by lightning strikes or power grid disturbances. As a result, a suitable SPD helps protect the LED driver, LED module, and other electronic components of the fixture.

Professional surge protection for lighting

Modern LED fixtures contain sensitive electronics. Outdoor installations, in particular, are therefore at increased risk from severe voltage spikes. A Philips Surge Protection Device adds an extra layer of protection to the lighting system and can thus help minimize premature failure and maintenance.

The main features are:

• Maximum surge resistance up to 10 kV
• maximum surge current up to 10 kA (8/20 µs)
• Class I and Class II models
• parallel and serial versions
• Suitable for new and existing lighting systems
• rated service life of 100,000 hours
• 230 V line voltage
• suitable for professional outdoor applications

Protection up to 10 kV and 10 kA

The Philips SPD series is designed for high voltage spikes of up to 10 kV and surge currents of up to 10 kA. As a result, the series provides additional protection in installations where overvoltage poses an increased risk. Furthermore, this protection helps ensure the reliability of the entire lighting system.

Parallel SPD Configuration

With an SPD connected in parallel, the light fixture will, in principle, continue to function even if the surge protector itself fails. As a result, the lighting remains available, but the defective SPD must be located and replaced during maintenance.

Serial SPD Version

With a serially connected SPD, the protection device cuts off the power supply when the SPD stops functioning. This makes a malfunction immediately apparent, because the fixture turns off. This allows maintenance personnel to quickly recognize that the surge protector needs to be replaced.

Class I and Class II

Philips offers models for both Safety Class I and Safety Class II. The correct choice depends on the electrical design of the fixture and the installation. Therefore, it is important that the SPD class matches the specific lighting solution.

Extreme Protection for Outdoor Lighting

Signify positions these surge protection devices according to the robust Xtreme standard. As a result, they are designed for long-term professional use under a wide range of conditions. Furthermore, the series is well-suited for installations where reliability and low maintenance costs are important.

Suitable for professional outdoor lighting

Philips Surge Protection Devices are compatible with, among other things:

• street and road lighting
• outdoor lighting
• parking lots
• industrial parks
• industrial outdoor lighting
• sports and floodlighting
• other professional outdoor fixtures

For new and existing installations

The SPD series can be used in both new and existing lighting installations. Furthermore, its application is not limited solely to LED technology. As a result, the protection can also be used in other professional lighting systems.

Philips Surge Protection Device for Your Project

The right SPD depends on the luminaire's safety class, the desired connection method, and the installation design. LED Goeroe helps you select the right Philips Surge Protection Device for professional luminaires and lighting projects.
