When it may not be suitable

This device is classified as a Type 3 surge arrester and is intended for fine protection. It is not designed to handle primary lightning strikes or high-energy surges that occur at the service entrance. For comprehensive protection, it should be used in conjunction with Type 1 and Type 2 surge arresters installed upstream.

Key specifications

• Protection class: Type 3
• Number of poles: 1P
• Discharge capacity: 10kA
• Application: Single-phase electrical systems
• Mounting: DIN rail

How to use

The installation of the Simet SM10D/1P should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. The device is designed to be mounted on a standard DIN rail within the distribution board. It must be connected in parallel with the load it is intended to protect. Ensure that the wiring is secure and that the cross-section of the conductors meets the requirements for the specific installation environment to maintain optimal protective performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your electrical system is single-phase
• Ensure there is sufficient space on the DIN rail in your distribution board
• Confirm that this device is being used as part of a coordinated multi-stage surge protection system

Usage recommendations

For maximum effectiveness, ensure that the connection leads to the surge arrester are kept as short as possible to minimize inductive voltage drops during a surge event. Regularly inspect the status indicator of the device to confirm it remains operational.
