Your advantages Easy and safe installation The Safe Protection Plus family is characterized by simplicity and safety. Miswiring and touch protection, a reduced tightening torque, and pluggability throughout make installation, testing, and maintenance much easier. The modular, double-insulated remote signaling ensures safe and convenient handling of the protective devices. Safe Protection Plus thus sets new standards in terms of safety and ease of installation. Miswiring and touch protection All AC versions are equipped with miswiring and touch protection. This prevents connecting cables from being pugged in incorrectly and ensures maximum safety during maintenance work. Tightening torque 3 Nm With the reduced tightening torque, installation is reliable and safe even without a great deal of force. Pluggable protection modules The pluggability of the protection modules enables individual protective plugs to be replaced safely and cost-effectively. At the same time, it makes it easier to carry out insulation measurements. 4 Phoenix Contact

Reliable system protection The type 1 protective devices ensure top performance thanks to the wear-free, triggered multi-carbon spark gap. The reinforced insulation of the remote signaling of all SPP products provides additional application and system safety. The direct response behavior of the type 1 and type 2 protective devices protects the backup fuse and installation. Rapid disconnection in the event of an error guarantees a high level of operational safety. Double insulation – double protection The surge protective devices of the SPP family have double insulation between the main and auxiliary circuits. They therefore meet the special requirements of SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) and PELV (Protective Extra Low Voltage). This provides additional protection for devices and people and, at the same time, increases the reliability of the entire system. Phoenix Contact 5

Your advantages Versatile in use – in buildings, photovoltaic systems The SPP family reliably protects industrial systems and buildings against lightning currents and surge voltages.

The robust and compact design allows SPP products to be used in demanding environments and at altitudes of up to 5,000 m. They also enable a space-saving installation with up to 315 A without backup fuse. Photovoltaics The PV versions of the Safe Protection Plus family provide reliable protection for solar parks and PV installations on buildings. Both type 1 lightning current arresters and type 2 surge protective devices feature the established 2+V circuit design. This enables reliable installation and reduces planning and maintenance costs. Both types of protective devices are available for systems with a UC of up to 1,800 V DC. 6 Phoenix Contact

... and in exposed telecommunications and wind turbine generator systems In exposed locations, structures such as telecommunications systems and wind turbine generators are struck by lightning much more often. This results in a considerable energy load over the entire operating period. The FLASHTRAB SPP combined lightning current and surge arresters provide optimum protection for these particularly stressed systems. The requirements of the IEC 61643-11 product standard are significantly exceeded, providing additional safety reserves for applications with a high risk of lightning. Wind power The robust design with protection class IP20C, pollution degree 3, and a temperature range of -40 to +85°C enables use in harsh environments, like those in wind turbines.

The new type 1 surge protection in the Safe Protection Plus product family combines a high discharge capacity of up to 100 kA and forward-thinking safety features with practical pluggability and a particularly compact overall width of just 17.5 mm per position. Consistent pluggable design The protection modules can be plugged in separately for each path. The new two-stage latching or plug-in mechanism of the N/PE plugs ensures that they are held securely in the base element even under high pulse loads. Modular remote signaling The modular remote signaling system makes maintenance easier. The double insulation also ensures a high level of safety between the main and auxiliary circuits. Reduced tightening torque The tightening torque has been reduced. This makes it easier to install the protective devices correctly. Biconnect connection system The Biconnect function enables you to easily bridge the lightning current arresters to other components, such as miniature circuit breakers and circuit breakers. New technology The triggered multi-carbon spark gap technology offers significant advantages over conventional spark gaps due to its multi-pulse capability and low residual voltage curve, for example. Miswiring and touch protection The products are equipped with miswiring and touch protection. This reliably prevents mismatching. Touch protection ensures greater safety during operation. Current-carrying parts can no longer be touched once the cables have been connected. 8 Phoenix Contact

The triggered multi-carbon spark gap technology The triggered multi-carbon spark gap technology from Phoenix Contact marks a significant step forward in lightning and surge protection. It combines proven spark gap principles with state-of-the-art trigger and carbon technology. This enables a fast, defined ignition with low residual voltages. At the same time, it creates a grid-following current-free behavior in which the SPD immediately becomes high-impedance again after the lightning current has been discharged and no current flows from the grid. The low voltage protection level and reduced residual voltage protect the insulation of sensitive components and extend their service life. The technology is extremely versatile due to its robust materials, high multi-pulse capability, and compact design. The result: robust, durable, and powerful type 1 SPDs for demanding applications ranging from residential buildings to exposed industrial systems.

Properties of the triggered multi-carbon spark gap technology Wear-free technology The triggered multi-carbon spark gap uses particularly robust materials. The energy to be dissipated is distributed ideally across the entire installation space, which reduces heat generation in the SPD and prevents wear. The technology therefore shows no signs of aging even after multiple loads. The figure shows that the residual stress curve remains unchanged even after intensive loading and that the SPD therefore shows no signs of aging. voltage Voltage 1500 V 1000 V 500 V 0 V -500 V -1000 V Residual voltage spread Scatter band of residual voltage Residual voltage Residual voltag 25 kA surge current Surge current 25 k time Time -5 µs 0 µs 5 µs 10 µs 15 µs 20 µs 25 µs Space saving and compact The FLT-SPP-T1... sets new standards in internal lightning protection. With the triggered multi-carbon spark gap, the pluggable lightning current arrester offers maximum performance in a minimum of space. The protective devices only require 17.5 mm of installation space per position. This makes it significantly more compact than the FLT-SEC-P-T1... with comparable performance data. The result: more space in the control cabinet and maximum flexibility for state-of-the-art protection concepts. 142,4 mm 10 Phoenix Contact 72 mm

Discharge capacity for lightning currents Structures in exposed locations, such as telecommunications or wind turbine generators, are struck by lightning significantly more often than other buildings. Over the operating period, this leads to a significantly higher energy load. The lightning current arresters with triggered multi-carbon spark gap technology can dissipate more than twice as much energy as required by the IEC 61643-11 product standard. This means that they also fulfill the directions for applications with higher requirements. Multiple lightning current pulses IEC standard 300 kA²s Telecommunications Directive I 580 kA²s 730 kA²s Telecommunications Directive II Impact-free for high system availability When discharging an overvoltage event, short-circuit currents, known as line follow currents, can occur in conventional spark gaps. The triggered multi-carbon spark gap suppresses these short-circuit currents very quickly and efficiently, so that even small fuses do not blow and your system always remains available. Excellent protection against surge voltages The triggered multi-carbon spark gap has a very fast ignition behavior and a low, stable residual voltage curve. This significantly reduces the electrical and thermal load on downstream equipment. Compared to MOV surge protective devices, the energy input is significantly reduced.
