Even minor surge voltages can cause damage to electrical equipment in the building or to the wallbox. Repairs and replacement equipment are costly. Therefore, when the cable enters the building, it is mandatory to install the appropriate surge protection in order to comply with the normative requirements and protect the electrical system in the building.
For engineers and electricians, selecting the right components takes a lot of time. The AC SPD Box from Weidmüller is pre-assembled with type 1/2 and 2 surge conductors and optional communication surge protection. The AC SPD Box provides reliable and secure protection.
The AC SPD box is a ready-to-install solution to reliably protect both charging stations from 11-22kW and PV systems against surges. Depending on the variant, the solution is equipped with AC surge protection type II or type I/II, which can be optionally expanded with surge protection for the communication interface. The compact design with IP65 and a temperature range of -25 to 50 °C is very suitable for outdoor use.
