SOURCE OF DAMAGE

Selection of SPDs according to the expected impact

The standard series IEC and EN 62305 defines lightning flashes to various points as so called sources of damage. Such damage may e.g. be to a structures, to services, to installations or equipment. The installation of SPDs within the electric distribution system can significantly reduce the risk of such damages to services, to installations or equipment. Electromagnetic interferences are also a potential source of damage, the risk of which can be reduced by the installation of SPDs with additional filter.
