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.
