LT-40D/40E Type 2 Surge Protector 40kA N-PE
Installation of Surge Protective Device Type 2 at distribution board level which clamps switching and induced lightning transients prior to their reaching downstream units. Leitai Electric is an esteemed producer of surge protective devices based in China, with designing, manufacturing, testing and quality control of the Type I, II and III SPDs.

Applications & circuit protection
The LT-40D / LT-40E is used where TN and TT modes of protection have to be utilized as per Type 2 protection standards (20kA). Some of the common applications are described below.
- TN-S systems: It gives L-N and N-PE modes of protection.
- TT installations: It gives the facility of earthing issue protection.
- Distribution boards: It gives the opportunity to protect from common-mode and differential protection.
- Upgrading projects: It gives N-PE protection in the existing panels.

Construction & operating reliability
LT-40D/LT-40E devices are equipped with high-energy MOV items and a GDT, guaranteeing clamping efficiency and effective isolation in case of operation. Our production process consists of sorting MOV, assembling devices, performing thermal bonding and impulse testing under one roof.
- Mixed MOV and GDT protection enabling fast reaction and low leakage currents.
- Thermal disconnector with failure indication mark.
- Housing conforming to IP20 standard, flameproof according to UL94 V0.
- Devices are tested as per standards of IEC 61643-11/GB/T 18802.11.

Frequently Asked Questions About Type 2 Surge Protector
Can I order samples for testing?
Yes. There are samples as well as OEM/ODM support and wholesale pricing options available, exclusively for B2B customers.
What do In and Imax mean?
In is referring to the nominal discharge current while Imax means the maximum discharge current which can be tolerated by the SPD only once.
Which earthing systems does it support?
LT-40D / LT-40E can be used with TN, TT and IT according to the protected mode that has been set up (L-N, L-PE, N-PE).
What is a Type 2 SPD used for?
Type 2 SPD is used to protect low-voltage distribution boards and equipment downstream from switching and lightning transients.
Where should the LT-40D / LT-40E be installed?
Installation must be done on the main or sub-distribution board on a DIN rail close to the incoming supply with short leads to earth.
