Product Overview

What This Model Does

The Htst1-c series surge protector (SPD) is designed for AC 50/60Hz, 380V and below power systems including TT, IT, TN-S, and TN-C-S. It is suitable for LPZ1, LPZ2, and LPZ3 zones and installs on a 35mm electrical guide rail. Built to IEC61643-1 and GB18802.1, it provides voltage-limiting protection with an integrated disconnector that automatically isolates the device during overheating or breakdown. A visual indicator changes from green (normal) to red (fault) to signal failure. The unit supports 1P+N, 2P+N, and 3P+N configurations for use in TN-C-S and TN-S systems.

Key Benefits

  • Automatically disconnects from the power grid during overheating or breakdown to prevent fire risk
  • Visual green-to-red indicator shows real-time protection status without external tools
  • Replaceable protector unit allows maintenance without replacing the base
  • Withstands up to 100kA (8/20μs) lightning current impact for robust surge protection
  • Action response time under 25ns ensures fast protection during transient events
  • Supports multiple configurations: 1P+N, 2P+N, 3P+N for flexible integration in distribution boards

Who It Is For

  • Electrical wholesalers stocking surge protection devices alongside conventional breakers
  • Panel builders integrating SPDs into distribution boards for compliance and safety
  • Switchgear assemblers building custom enclosures with built-in surge protection
  • Solar EPC contractors installing SPDs at the main inverter input and sub-panels
  • OEM/ODM buyers requiring a reliable, replaceable SPD for branded electrical systems

Problems It Solves

  • A failed surge protector remains connected to the grid, posing a fire or shock hazard
  • No visual indication of failure means a damaged SPD may go unnoticed for months
  • Replacing the entire unit after a single protector failure increases downtime and cost
  • Lack of fast response time leaves sensitive electronics vulnerable to transient overvoltage
  • Inconsistent protection levels across different zones (LPZ1 to LPZ3) in a single installation

Application Scenarios

  • Industrial control panels exposed to frequent voltage spikes from motor switching or nearby lightning
  • Data centers and server rooms where equipment must remain protected during transient surges
  • Commercial buildings with sensitive electronics in lighting, HVAC, and security systems
  • Solar power systems where inverters and control units need surge protection at the main distribution point
  • Renewable energy installations in rural or exposed areas with high lightning risk

Comparison

How It Compares

Conventional SPD without disconnectorThis model automatically isolates on failure, reducing fire risk and eliminating the need for manual inspection
SPD with non-replaceable moduleThis unit allows replacement of the protector without replacing the base, reducing long-term maintenance cost
SPD with no visual indicatorThis model includes a green-to-red visual signal, enabling quick on-site status check without tools
SPD rated below 100kAThis model withstands 100kA (8/20μs), suitable for high-risk areas with frequent lightning or industrial surges

Use Guide

  1. Mount the SPD on a 35mm electrical guide rail in the distribution board
  2. Connect the live and neutral conductors to the input terminals and the output to the protected circuit
  3. Ensure the NPE zero ground protection module is properly connected for 1P+N, 2P+N, 3P+N configurations
  4. Verify the visual indicator shows green after connection and under normal load
  5. If the indicator turns red, the device has failed and must be replaced with a new protector unit
  6. Replace the protector unit by removing the old module and inserting the new one into the same base
FAQ

Questions About the SPD

What systems can this SPD be used in

It is suitable for TT, IT, TN-S, and TN-C-S power supply systems with AC 50/60Hz and 380V and below.

Does it automatically disconnect on failure

Yes. The integrated disconnector isolates the device from the power grid when overheating or breakdown occurs.

How do I know if the SPD is working

A green visual indicator shows normal operation. If it turns red, the device has failed and needs replacement.

Can I replace just the protector unit

Yes. The protector unit is replaceable without replacing the base, reducing maintenance cost and downtime.

What is the maximum surge current it can handle

It can withstand up to 100kA (8/20μs) lightning current impact.

What configurations are available

Available in 1P+N, 2P+N, and 3P+N configurations for use in TN-C-S and TN-S systems.

What are the minimum order quantity and lead time

Both depend on the configuration and branding required. Email [email protected] with your model list and quantities for a current answer.
