UL 1449 3rd
edition and the 2008 NEC
Surge
Protection Device (SPD)
The Problem:
Transients
(spikes) can damage and disrupt the operation of critical IT and
telecommunications and electronic systems. These disturbances
can
be caused by meteorological events such as thunderstorms, electric
utility switching operations and can be produced by electrical devices
within the facility.
The Solution
SPD's
can be employed at the utility service entrance to the building, at
distribution panels downstream from service entrance and at the
individual load level. These devices absorb the transient
energy
and redirect it to a path away from the critical equipment.
They
are available in ratings consistent with the point of application and
are designed to the latest UL and electrical standards.
