Replaceable Protection Module
indicates that
the SPD component providing protection can
be easily removed and replaced following end-of-
life with an appropriate replacement module,
saving on reinstallation time and protector cost.
The replaceable module includes a quick release
mechanism allowing partial removal, which
facilitates line commissioning and maintenance.
LED Optional Indication
is an additional feature
where an SPD can be supplied with an integral
LED which indicates performance or fault when
installed in low current DC power applications.
This enables rapid assessment and replacement
of SPDs in situations where a considerable
number of SPDs are installed.
High Bandwidth SPDs
ensure the full system
frequency range of transmission signals, for
protected data communication, signal and
telephone lines, is not impaired.
Signal frequencies outside the stated SPD
bandwidth may potentially be distorted causing
information loss or corruption.
As the SPD should accommodate the characteristics
of the protected system, the stated SPD bandwidth
(typically quoted for a 50 Ω system) should always
exceed the protected system’s bandwidth.
BX IP
is an International Protection (IP) rating
(to IEC/BS EN 60529) for ready-boxed (BX) SPDs
typically used in dusty and damp environments.
The IP rating system (also interpreted as “Ingress
Protection”) classifies the degrees of protection
provided against the intrusion of solid objects
(including body parts like hands and fingers), dust,
accidental contact and water in electrical
enclosures. For example, an IP66 rated enclosure
provides no ingress of dust and therefore complete
protection against contact as well as against water
projected in powerful jets against the enclosure
from any direction with no harmful effects.
Unboxed SPDs should be installed within
distribution panels/cabinets or within external
enclosures to the required IP rating (such as the
Furse weatherproof WBX enclosure range).
Ultra Slim 7 mm Width
highlights the Slim Line
feature of our ESP SL range which permits
installation in tight spaces, or multiple installation
where a high number of lines require protection.
ATEX/IECex Approved
indicates that this SPD
has undergone the relevant testing and approval
process defined by ATEX/IECex, and has proven
suitable for use in the hazardous environment as
defined on the SPD datasheet.
