How it works

Follow these four quick steps to get the right SPD for your application:

1

Identify your system

Select your voltage, system type (Wye, Delta, split-phase), and any signal lines.

2

Select your SPD

Choose the recommended surge protection device for your application and protection level.

3

Common scenarios

120/240 V split-phase

Use the Split-phase row. Select 120 V (L–N) for branch circuits or 240 V (L–L) for 2-pole loads. The selector maps to the correct surge protector device.

208Y/120 V WYE

Use WYE (with neutral). Choose 120 V (L–N) for branch circuits or 208 V (L–L) for 3-phase loads. The selector maps to the correct surge protector device.

480Y/277 V WYE

Use WYE (with neutral). Pick 277 V (L–N) for branch circuits or 480 V (L–L) for 3-phase loads. The selector maps to the correct surge protector device.

Why use the SPD Selection Guide

Faster selection

Go from system and voltage (split-phase, Wye, Delta) to a recommended model in minutes—with clear L-N vs L-L guidance.

FAQ

Are these UL Type 1, and where can I install them?

Yes—US series SPDs are UL 1449 Type 1, so they can be installed on the line side at service equipment or on the load side (downstream panels). If you’re unsure about placement, we’ll validate.

What if my system is high-leg delta, corner-grounded, or another edge case?

Use the matching grid row; for high-leg delta or corner-grounded services, include a note and we’ll confirm wiring mode and device choice.

Do I need a dedicated upstream fuse/breaker—and what about SCCR and lead length?

Many U.S. models allow fuseless connection within stated limits—always follow the device datasheet and your panel’s SCCR. Keep leads as short as practical to minimize let-through. We’ll verify the connection method for your SKU.
