SPD (Surge Protection Device)
A Surge Protection Device (SPD) is an electrical device designed to protect electrical equipment and systems from transient voltage surges caused by lightning strikes, switching operations, or other electrical disturbances. SPDs divert excess voltage safely to the ground, preventing damage to sensitive equipment in residential, commercial, and industrial installations. They are essential for safeguarding electrical panels, machinery, communication systems, and renewable energy installations.
