The three-color progressive performance indicator is the second distinctive feature that makes the ZOTUP surge protectors unique. 1. Preventive Information for Optimal Protection...

[6] Complete protection in any environment. Discover why you should opt for a surge protector that satisfies Pollution Degree 3 and what benefits it can offer: 1. Optimal Protection in Harsh Environments The Pollution Degree, or degree of pollution, classifies the environment based on the presence of conductive dust, humidity, and other substances that can compromise the protection of...

[12] The Dilemma of Remote Signaling Contact When we decide to protect our system with a surge protective device (SPD), we are often faced with an important choice: whether to opt for an SPD with or without remote signaling contact. Let's see why this decision is crucial. Remote Signaling Contact: What Is It and How Does It Work The remote signaling contact, or remote signaling, is an...

[9] When choosing a surge protector, it's crucial to understand the difference between the nominal discharge current (In) and the maximum discharge current (Imax) to ensure optimal protection for your system. Here's why you should consider the nominal discharge current (In) instead of the maximum current (Imax): 1. The Real Relevance of Nominal Discharge Current The nominal...

One of the most important issues complicated for this reason which concerns the world of surge arresters is without any doubt the length of the connections: the sum of the length of the cables from the phase derivation to the arrester terminals up to the equipotential earth connectionmust not be greater than 50 cm >.  This is because in high frequencyeach meter of cable is equivalent to...

[11] Protecting photovoltaic systems is essential to ensure their reliability and longevity in the increasingly critical environmental context in which they operate. Surge protection devices (SPDs) play a crucial role in this process. However, choosing the right SPD can be complex. Here's what to consider: 1. Exposure to Direct and/or Induced Discharges a) If the installation is exposed to both...

[7] Challenge: Installing SPD Outside the Control Panel Protecting machinery when it's not possible to install the surge protection device (SPD) inside a Control Panel can be a challenge. The lack of space inside the panel can further complicate matters. Solution: ZOTUP Protection Boxes To overcome this obstacle, ZOTUP offers two protection boxes with IP65 enclosure. These ZOTUPBOXES (code 244...

[13] Whether it's a TT or TN system, protection against indirect contacts (i.e., hazards resulting from contact with conductive elements that may become energized in the event of main insulation failure) is achieved in various ways, including adequate grounding of masses and the installation of residual-current devices that detect current leakage to the ground. However, the choice of surge...

One of the aspects to take into consideration when talking about surge arresters concerns theirpositioninginside the distribution panels. Should they be inserted at the beginning of the wiring or wherever there is free space on the DIN bar? Starting from the assumption thatin order to avoid an inductive drop it is It is necessary to create very short connections, there is a simple rule to follow:...

[14] While reading the datasheet of any surge protector, one cannot help but notice, among the many items, the wording "Type" and "Test Class". But what do these two terms refer to? Let's clarify briefly. Reference Standards Both wordings refer to two types of classifications provided by two regulations: the CEI EN 61643-11 Standard "Surge protective devices connected to low-voltage systems....

This episode of ZOTUP IN PILLS resolves a small doubt for us, namely what is the the minimum section of the earth connection cables. When installing aenergy surge arrester(aka low voltage SPD) inside an electrical panel, in fact, it is necessary to consider thatthe minimum section of the earth cable is not serious; fixed but varies depending on theTest Class of the device. Therefore: ASpd in...

In the latest episode of ZOTUP IN PILLS, we explained the minimum cross-section of earth connection cables. In this episode, we will clarify the minimum cross-section of phase/neutral connection cables. When installing an energy surge protection device (also known as low-voltage SPD) inside an electrical panel, it is important to consider that, just like for earth cables, the minimum...

[17] Using external fuses in electrical installations, although aimed at providing additional protection for equipment and systems against overcurrents typical of short circuits, is not always the best choice. Installing fuses upstream of a surge protection device (SPD) can lead to significant issues that make their use inadvisable. Main Issues with Using External Fuses Limited Space and...

As of01/12/2021, the eighth edition of the CEI 64-8 standard comes into forcewhich specifies the need for to use a support fuse at the top of the arrester in order to protect systems and equipment from the so-calledTemporary Overvoltages(also calledTOV,from the English acronym of Temporary Overvoltage). But what are TOV and how should a surge arrester behave? An SPD is created...

[19] Electrical power systems are essential for ensuring the safety and efficiency of any installation. But what are the main differences between the TT System, TN System, and IT System? Understanding these distinctions is crucial for choosing the configuration that best suits your needs. Classification of Power Systems: TT, TN, and IT Power systems are classified based on the connection of the...

And’ on December 24th. Santa Claus is hastily delivering the presents and as he is coming down the chimney, lit only by the lights of the Christmas tree, lightning strikes the house, blowing up the electrical system and making a strategic retreat necessary.
