FAQ
Common questions about LY1-C40/4(S) AC surge protective device selection and application.
What type of surge protection does LY1-C40/4(S) provide?
LY1-C40/4(S) is a Type 2 AC surge protective device designed for low-voltage AC systems. It helps limit transient overvoltage and protect downstream electrical equipment.
What voltage options are available?
Available voltage options include 75V, 150V, 275V, 320V, 385V, and 440V AC. The correct voltage rating should be selected according to the system voltage and protection requirement.
What is the discharge current rating?
The nominal discharge current In is 20kA and the maximum discharge current Imax is 40kA, tested with an 8/20μs surge waveform.
Does this model support remote signalling?
Yes. The “S” version includes a floating remote signalling contact for status indication. Models without “S” do not include remote signalling contact.
Can LY1-C40/4(S) be mounted on a DIN rail?
Yes. LY1-C40/4(S) is designed for standard 35mm DIN-rail mounting, making it suitable for distribution boards, cabinets, and electrical panels.
What should be confirmed before ordering?
Please confirm system voltage, pole number, protection mode, remote signalling requirement, installation space, backup fuse, and applicable standard before ordering.
