    • Features

      Acti 9 iPRF1,  PRD1 Type 1 Surge Protection Devices protect the electrical equipments against the direct lightning strikes.
      The installation of Type 1 or Type 1+2 Surge Arresters is compulsory whenever there is a lightning rod.
      They are tested and rated according to the standardised current wave of 10/350 μs.

      Impulse discharge current Iimp:
      • 12.5 kA for iPRF1 12.5r is suitable for buildings with protection levels III and IV
      • 25 kA for PRD1 25r and 35 kA for PRD1 Master are suitable for buildings with protection levels I and II
      Surge Protection Devices must be associated with a suitable disconnection device, fuse or circuit-breaker.

      These Surge Arresters are available either as monobloc or with pluggable cartridges.
      These ranges cover all the different earthing system: multiple-pole or single-pole devices to be assembled.
      They come with ouput contacts for remote transfer of end-of-life information (for Acti 9 Smartlink or other input/output devices).

      • iPRF1 12.5r and PRD1 25r are also Type 2 rated (8/20 µs) to protect the electrical equipment by finely clipping the voltage surge
      • They are suitable for 230/400 V 50/60 Hz networks, with earthing system TT, TN-S, TN-C
      • PRD1 Master is also suitable for 440 V IT earthing system.

      Benefits

      These two SPD Type 1 ranges provide:

      • Powerful Surge Protection for installations and buildings with high lightning strike risk
      • Ensure the continuity of service of your installation
      • PRD1 Surge Arresters are fitted with easy-to-replace pluggable cartridges
      • Beware the lightning rod is not sufficient as a protection, Type 1 Surge Protection Devices contribute to the safety of your equipments

      Applications

      Acti 9 iPRF1,  PRD1 Type 1 Surge Protection Devices protect the electrical installations against induced or conducted surges caused by direct lightning strikes.
      • The IEC/EN 62305-2 specifies the use of Type 1 or Type 1+2 Surge Protection Devices in commercial and industrial buildings protected by a lightning conductor or a lightning rod
      • Surge Protection Devices are recommended when there is higher risk of direct lightning strikes.
