Located at intake and is Type 1. Has a Up of 1.5KV so can one assume it covers all categories set out in Table 443.2?

    Hi Lyledunn. If The Up value is in accordance with the required withstand voltage of the equipment in the installation at that location then I would say it does. But only equipment at that location.It cannot eliminate the residual overvoltages that may affect the downstream equipment. Therefore, additional SPDs of Type 2 and/or Type 3 are required to remove the overvoltages downstream and provide a higher level of protection for the sensitive loads.
