Surge protector - for LED light sources ETITEC LX2 IP67 002442984

LED Lighting Surge Protection – Reliability and Safety

This surge protector from the ETITEC LX2 series is a key element in protecting lighting installations, especially those using energy-efficient LED light sources. It provides effective protection against the effects of sudden voltage spikes that can damage the delicate electronics in LED luminaires. This is particularly important in areas prone to storms or in installations powered by an unstable grid.

This surge protector is designed to work with TN-S and TT network systems, making it a universal solution for a wide range of applications. Optical signaling informs about the operation of the device, facilitating quick identification of potential problems. Short-circuit strength at 10 kA and maximum discharge current of 10 kA (8/20) guarantee high protection efficiency even with strong surges.

Construction features and application

A Type 2 device with a rated voltage of AC 230V and a maximum discharge current of 5 kA (peak value) is perfect for protecting lighting circuits. The ability to connect wires with a cross-section of up to 1.5 mm² ensures compatibility with most standard electrical installations. The degree of protection IP20 indicates protection against touch, which is important for safety.

The installation of the surge protector is universal – although the specification indicates "Other", typical for this type of device is mounting on a DIN rail in a distribution box. This makes installation simple and quick, both for professionals and people with basic electrical knowledge. It is worth remembering that proper selection and installation of a surge protector is an investment in the long-term and trouble-free operation of the lighting system.
