What is a Single Phase AC Surge Protector? Your Essential Guide
Overview of Single Phase AC Surge Protector – BT BCM 50 RM/2P Surge protector BT BCM 50 RM/2P is designed for single-phase AC systems. It suits Class I TN 220V/230V AC networks with “2+0” circuit distribution. This single-phase residential surge protector is commonly installed in distribution boards and cabinets to protect critical supply systems. This single-phase surge protector follows the international standards set di IEC 61643-11, EN 61643-11:2012, and GB 18802.1-2011, and also protects from power surges resulting from lightning strikes and other transient voltage spikes. It meets the dependent requirement of an SPD single-phase AC device, protecting the low-voltage equipment and electrical circuits from surges. What is a Single-Phase AC Surge Protector? Single-phase AC surge protector (also known as a 1-phase surge protector or TVSS single phase AC) is an electrical safety device designed for domestic and small industrial use that provides components with protective surge control voltage. To put it simply, a surge protector is a device that prevents power spikes, often caused by lightning, power outages, or grid switches, from funneling unnecessary voltage into your electrical systems. What is the Purpose of a Single-Phase Surge Protector? Surge voltage has the potential to cause severe damage to vital electronic devices like smartphones and computers, as well as refrigerators, HVAC systems, and many others. For the most part, chronic use of voltage pulses damages the device’s components, shortening the lifetime of the device, and in some cases, permanently incapacitating the device. Advantages of Deploying a Single-Phase AC Surge Protector: • Domestic appliances will automatically be protected against power spikes while improving appliance life. • Use geo-electrically induced voltages from lightning strikes and other geo-electrically induced voltages. • Reliable dependability on power surge performance for single-phase systems. • Reduction of expensive repairs and replacements. • Decrease fire hazards due to ...
