Type 2 surge protective devices
Narrow and powerful
Type 2 surge protection should be present in every sub-distribution. It is the only way to achieve effective protection.
Switching operations are far and away the most frequent cause of surge voltages. Type 2 surge protective devices provide effective protection against these dynamic disturbance variables. Whether in an industrial environment or in a residential building, type 2 protections ensures basic protection for your installations and devices.
Your advantages
-
Low voltage protection level thanks to varistor-based protective circuit
-
Optimum protection against surge voltages thanks to high-performance disconnect device
-
High short-circuit current capability up to 50 kA
-
Saves time, money, and space thanks to use up to 315 A without a backup fuse
-
Easy maintenance thanks to universally pluggable protective devices
Most narrow type 2 surge protective device in the world
Type 2 surge protection in the sub-distribution
With an overall width of just 12 mm per channel, VALVETRAB SEC is the narrowest type 2 surge protective device in the world. With an overall width of just 48 mm, you are able to implement excellent protection against surge voltages in a five-conductor system.
The protective device offers a voltage protection level of 1.5 kV. This means it meets the requirements of type 3 device protection. VALVETRAB SEC limits voltage peaks to such an extent that machines, systems, and household appliances are not damaged.
For industry and building installations with an external lightning protection system, type 2 surge protection is the second level of protection after the type 1 lightning arresters. The surge protective device handles short-circuit currents up to 50 kA. You can use the type 2 protective device without a backup fuse up to a main fuse nominal current of 315 A.

Plukon - Scanning for the futureRead moreThe Plukon poultry slaughterhouse in Blokker has installations from all kinds of machine builders and suppliers. Each of these has its own control system and associated components from different brands. This situation has developed over time, with the result that Plukon lost track of the overall picture. When it became clear that many components were now obsolete, the company decided to have itsme carry out a FactoryScan. ‘This gives us more peace of mind and helps us to better plan the replacement of components for the future.’

Silmaco - Site assessmentRead moreKemira Rotterdam produces hydrogen peroxide in various grades at its Europoort site for applications such as water purification, cleaning beverage packaging and bleaching paper. As is customary in the process industry, the installation was lit 24/7 for safety reasons. Kemira felt that there was a smarter way to do this. That is why the company contacted itsme Lighting Technology. ‘In addition to saving energy, we are now also saving on maintenance.’

Damen - Modbus on boardRead moreAt Damen Shipyards Group, field service engineers fly all over the world to provide service and carry out repairs. In addition to mechanics and electronics, communication networks are becoming increasingly important, with Modbus as the standard protocol. To brush up on their people's knowledge, Damen went in search of Modbus training. The shipbuilder chose itsme because of the customisation and flexibility that the industrial service provider could offer. ‘Nowhere else could we find this level of expertise.’ Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
