PSPD SERIES
SURGE PROTECTION

Eaton's PSPD Series surge protective devices are the latest and most advanced ULT 1449 3rd Edition certified surge protectors. Application of PSPD Series units throughout a facility will ensure that equipment is protected with the safest and most reliable surge protective devices available. Units are available in all common voltages and configurations, and also in a variety of surge current capacity ratings from 50 through 400 kA. Three feature package options are also available to choose from.

Applications
The increasing necessity
for facility-wide surge
protection

The ever-increasing use of microprocessors and other sensitive electronic equipment has increased the necessity for facility-wide surge protection. These sensitive electronic components are used within many pieces of equipment, including computers, programmable logic controllers and other commonly used electrical and electronic equipment. Surges can wreak havoc on equipment, causing catastrophic failures, process interruptions and premature aging leading to failure. The application of surge protective devices (SPDs) can mitigate problems with sensitive electronic equipment, keeping the equipment and the related processes up and running reliably without disruption or damage due to surge-related events. In addition to externally generated surge events, such as lightning and grid switching, equipment is also susceptible to damage by internally generated surges. In fact, the majority of surges are generated internally by commonly used items, such as fluorescent lighting ballasts, light dimmers, photocopiers, fax machines and variable frequency drives. This further reinforces the necessity for facility-wide surge protection applied at all stages of the electrical distribution system, from the electrical service entrance down to the single-phase loads.
