Lightning can strike more than once– and surges don’t always come from outside. Surge events—short-term transients in voltage threatening critical downstream equipment—happen for many reasons. The most common source, though, is internal devices powering on and off: motors, transformers, photocopiers, fluorescent lighting ballasts, light dimmers, variable frequency drives and more. They can also be generated externally by events like lightning, grid switching or electrical equipment in adjacent buildings. While seemingly innocent, surge events can wreak serious havoc on unprotected and...

Protect your equipment Our surge devices shunt high energy surges and other transient disturbances away from the equipment being protected. In nanoseconds, the device provides a low impedance surge path through the use of advanced metal oxide varistor (MOV) technology. Eaton surge devices also use self-testing technology to continuously verify the health of the unit. Eaton’s surge protection solutions come in all common voltages and configurations, in surge current capacity ratings up to 800 kA and with a variety of optional features. (For example, LED protection status indicators, surge...

Eaton SPD Series The SPD Series offers the most advanced surge protection with an array of features, options and configurations. It can be installed two ways: direct integration into electrical assemblies or externally side-mounted to equipment. Integrating the device into the electrical assembly maximizes flexibility, space and protection— and keeps installation leads as short as possible. It also ensures proper installation from the start. It’s available with these Eaton electrical assemblies: • Motor control centers Mounting a surge device directly to the panelboard’s bus bars provides...
