CONSUMER UNIT TYPE 2 SURGE PROTECTION KIT

Hager’s VME02SPD, is a type 2 surge protection kit.

The whole nature of how elec­trical equip­ment is used in homes and at work has evolved; with every­day activ­it­ies re­ly­ing on elec­tronic equip­ment.

Products such as com­puters, print­ers, tele­vi­sions, in­dus­trial con­trol equip­ment such as PLC’s, alarms, mi­crowaves and wash­ing ma­chines are com­mon place. These can all be vul­ner­able to tran­si­ent over­voltages, which can sig­ni­fic­antly re­duce the equip­ment’s lifespan through de­grad­a­tion and dam­age.

A tran­si­ent over­voltage or surge is a short dur­a­tion in­crease in voltage meas­ured between two or more con­duct­ors. In short, this means any­thing from mi­cro­seconds (mil­li­onths of a second) to a few mil­li­seconds (thou­sandths of a second) in dur­a­tion.

Surge protection device (SPD), protects devices (such as computers, TV and electrical appliances) against voltage spikes. The SPD will attempt to lessen the voltage supplied to an electric device.

Supplied with a Busbar and a 6mm sq earth cable. Complete with a lifetime indicator – clear = healthy, red = replace
