LT-20/40 Type 2 Surge Protector 20kA 40kA AC Distribution
a Type 2 SPD that manages most of the surge energy in the electrical distribution system of a building and its distribution panels, circuits, and loads against the voltages of surge pest As the factory-direct SPD manufacturer and supplier, Leitai Electric produces surge protectors at very reasonable factory prices, tailored designs, and full technical documents.

Applications & circuit protection
The LT-20 / LT-40 is used where low-voltage AC distribution panels, sub-distribution boards, and cabinets are installed in commercial and industrial establishments. It is mainly used for the following installation types.
- AC distribution boards: Overall and subordinate protection.
- Panel builders: Integrated protection of OEM cabinets.
- Retail and office buildings: Lighting, socket and HVAC protection.
- Industrial motor control centres: Electric motor protection..

The diagram shown in this section explains the circuit within the LT-20/LT-40 surge protector.

Construction & operating reliability
As a result of its sophisticated construction with high energy MOVs and internal thermal disconnector, LT-20/LT-40 provides stability in clamping process as well as long operational life. The entire production process consists of all stages of MOV preparation, from obtaining raw materials, assembling components, using thermal bonding technology, up to the provision of impulse testing.
- Major features include:
- high speed of operation,
- thermally protected disconnector with alarm signal,
- IP20 housing made of UL94 V0 rated material,
- testing done according to the requirements of IEC 61643-11 / GB/T 18802.11 standard.

Type 2 Surge Protector Comparison Guide: Choose the Right Option
Choose one’s surge protection device based not only on the specifications of the type of device but also on its ability to discharge and the voltage it can handle. The type 3 surge protection devices are meant to protect connected equipment while type 2 devices protect distribution systems and type 1 devices discharge lightning current.

Frequently Asked Questions About Type 2 Surge Protector
What is a Type 2 SPD used for?
Yes, Type 2 SPDs offer effective protection against surges generated by equipment and lightning strikes.
Can I order samples for testing?
We do provide samples along with the OEM/ODM service and wholesale prices for our B2B partners.
Which earthing systems does it support?
LT-20 / LT-40 can be used in TN, TT and IT earthing systems according to the protection circuits realized (L-N, L-PE, N-PE).
Does the LT-20 / LT-40 have a failure indicator?
It does have an indicator which is visible, as well a thermal disconnector for the technology inside the module.
What do In and Imax mean?
In stands for nominal discharge current (8/20us) in the standard situation; Imax is the maximum amount of discharge current the SPD is allowed to endure just once.
