Surge Protection
Surge protection is crucial for maintaining electrical system integrity. Our range includes Type 1+2, Type 1+2 Special, Type 2, and Type 3 devices, suitable for MCR, PV, and IT systems in both residential and industrial settings. These devices cover a wide range of nominal voltages from 5 V DC to 690 V AC, accommodating diverse applications. They also support specific configurations like -48 V DC ±10% for RRH and dual settings across TN, TT, and IT networks up to 240/415 V AC, ensuring robust protection against significant voltage spikes.

Type 2 Surge Protectors
Type 2 surge protective devices (SPDs) play a critical role in safeguarding electrical systems, primarily installed in subdistribution stations or machine control cabinets. They serve as the middle layer in a three-tiered surge protection strategy. Key features and functions of Type 2 SPDs include:
- Placement: Commonly positioned in subdistribution stations or machine control cabinets.
- Protection Level: Acts as the second level of defense in a three-stage surge protection system.
- Surge Source Defense: Designed to shield against surge voltages from indirect lightning strikes and frequent overvoltages due to switching operations.
- Dynamic Response: Utilizes varistor technology for fast and effective response to transient overvoltages, crucial in managing the dynamic nature of switching-related surges.

The FLASHTRAB FLT-SEC-PLUS provides comprehensive protection, integrating both Type 1 lightning and Type 2 surge arresters into a single unit.
- Dual Functionality: Combines Type 1 lightning and Type 2 surge protection in one device.
- Streamlined Protection: Reduces need for separate devices, enhancing system integrity.
- High Standards Compliance: Meets requirements for both test classes, ensuring reliable defense.
- Efficient Installation: Easy-to-install design for immediate, effective protection.
Type 3 Surge Protectors
Type 3 surge protective devices (SPDs) are crucial for directly safeguarding end devices against surges. These configurations make Type 3 SPDs versatile and effective for a broad range of applications, ensuring the safety of critical electronic equipment.
- Installation Location: Typically installed immediately before the end devices they protect.
- Purpose: Serves as direct device protection within the electrical setup.
- Variety of Designs: Available in multiple forms to accommodate different installation needs:
- DIN Rail Mounting: Suitable for secure installation on standard DIN rails, commonly used in electrical panels.
- Socket Insertion: Designed for easy insertion into sockets, ideal for point-of-use protection in residential and commercial settings.
Surge Protector FAQS
SPDs protect electrical equipment from voltage spikes by limiting excess voltage to safe thresholds.
There are three main types: Type 1 for high surge currents at service entrances, Type 2 for medium-risk sub-distribution levels, and Type 3 for near-sensitive equipment protection.
Regularly check status indicators and replace the SPD after significant surge absorption or as indicated by its diagnostics.
