Common Causes of SPD Degradation
When
surge protective devices (SPDs)
are properly specified and installed, they provide effective protection against transient overvoltages. In normal operation, SPDs shunt transient overvoltages to ground, allowing only current with a small portion of the surge current to pass the SPD toward the load equipment. Nevertheless, conditions can arise that degrade SPD performance.
This week's Tuesday Traffic Talk describes possible causes of SPD degradation and provides responding recommendations for preserving integrity of surge protection systems.
