protection for industrial control panels protects PLCs, HMIs, VFDs, power supplies, relays, sensors, and communication circuits from transient overvoltage entering through AC power, 24V DC control circuits, and field wiring. Most panels use an AC Type 2 DIN rail SPD at the incoming power side, with additional signal or communication protection when external field wiring is exposed.\n          <\/div>\n\n          <div class=\"icp-btn-row\">\n            <a class=\"icp-btn icp-btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnspd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/LEEYEE-Industrial-Control-Panel-SPD-Application-Guide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download Application Guide<\/a>\n            <a class=\"icp-btn icp-btn-secondary leeyee-site-popup-btn\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\">Request SPD Selection<\/a>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"icp-hero-image-card\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cnspd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Surge-protection-for-industrial-panels.png\" alt=\"Surge protection layout for industrial control panels with AC Type 2 DIN rail SPD, PLC, VFD, relay, 24V DC circuits and signal line protection\" loading=\"eager\">\n          <div class=\"icp-image-caption\">\n            Industrial control panel surge protection layout: AC incoming SPD, control power, PLC, VFD, relays, 24V DC circuits and field wiring protection.\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <section class=\"icp-section\">\n    <div class=\"icp-wrap\">\n      <div class=\"icp-guide-card\">\n\n        <div class=\"icp-guide-top\">\n          <div class=\"icp-guide-icon\">PDF<\/div>\n\n          <div>\n            <div class=\"icp-eyebrow\">Downloadable Engineering Resource<\/div>\n            <h2>Industrial Control Panel SPD Application Guide<\/h2>\n            <p>\n              Use this PDF as a quick reference for control panel surge protection design.
