The FX1-C40 Series AC Surge Protector is a Type 2 surge protection device designed to protect electrical installations from transient overvoltages and surge currents. With a nominal discharge current of 20kA and maximum discharge current of 40kA, this SPD provides robust protection for sub-distribution boards and sensitive electrical equipment. The device utilizes high-energy MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) and GDT (Gas Discharge Tube) technologies to effectively suppress voltage surges from lightning strikes and switching transients. The pluggable design allows for quick and easy module replacement without disconnecting the wiring, ensuring minimal downtime during maintenance. Built-in thermal protection with clear status indication (Green for OK, Red for fault) provides immediate visual feedback on the device’s operational status. The FX1-C40 series is suitable for TN-S, TN-C, and other network systems, offering comprehensive protection for both single-phase and three-phase applications.
Product Overview
The FX1-C40 Series AC Surge Protector is designed to provide reliable protection against voltage surges and transient overvoltages in electrical distribution systems. As a Type 2 SPD (Surge Protection Device), it is specifically engineered for installation in sub-distribution boards to protect downstream equipment from the damaging effects of lightning strikes and switching surges. The device complies with IEC 61643-11 and EN 61643-11 standards, ensuring quality and reliability in various applications.
The pluggable modular design of the FX1-C40 series allows for easy installation and replacement, reducing maintenance time and costs. The thermal protection feature continuously monitors the MOV modules and automatically disconnects them in the event of thermal runaway, preventing fire hazards. Visual status indicators (Green for normal operation, Red for fault) provide immediate feedback on the device’s condition. With a fast response time of less than 25ns, the FX1-C40 provides rapid protection against even the fastest transient overvoltages.
