Issue:
"peak surge current" meanning
Product Line:
Surge Protective Devices (SPD's)
Environment:
Products sold and used in North America
Resolution:
The peak ampere surge current ratings of an SPD are typically calculated by adding the peak ampere ratings of the individual suppression components used in a specific protection mode. This includes both line-neutral (L-N) and line-ground (L-G) modes, which are combined to represent a peak ampere rating per phase. For example, L-N 100 kA and L-G 100 kA would provide 200 kA/phase.
