Specifications
Parameter Specification
Product Series PRD1 (Type 1 SPD Series)
Model PRD1 12.5 3P+N
Type / Class Type 1 (Class I) – Designed to withstand partial direct lightning current (10/350 µs wave).
Configuration 3P+N – Protects all three phases (L1, L2, L3) and the Neutral conductor.
Lightning Current Impulse (Iimp) 12.5 kA (10/350 µs wave, per pole)
Nominal Discharge Current (In) 20 kA (8/20 µs wave, per pole)
Max. Discharge Current (Imax) 40 kA (8/20 µs wave, per pole)
Voltage Protection Level (Up) ≤ 2.5 kV (at In, typical for 400V systems)
Rated Voltage (Uc) 440V AC (L-L) / 255V AC (L-N) for 400/230V AC systems.
Follow Current Interrupting Rating (Ifi) Typically 25 kA rms (for 50Hz systems), ensuring safe shutdown after a surge.
