BHD Series SPD Disconnector

A dedicated SPD disconnector designed to safely isolate the SPD during failure and maintenance, and to disconnect leakage current caused by SPD deterioration—while withstanding normal surge discharge to reduce nuisance tripping.

Product Overview

The BHD Series SPD Disconnector isolates the SPD from the system during SPD failure and maintenance work. It includes a trip function to detect and disconnect leakage current caused by SPD deterioration (e.g., varistor burnout). With high surge withstand capability, BHD helps avoid unintended operation during normal surge discharge events.

Key Benefits

The SPD disconnector is used to safely isolate the SPD during failure and maintenance.
It can disconnect leakage current caused by SPD deterioration.
High surge resistance helps prevent nuisance tripping of the disconnector.

Model Code (Simplified)

Model example: BHD 80 U 4

Prefix
BHD = SPD Disconnector
Imax / Imp Level
20 / 40 / 80 / 120 = kA (8/20 μs) · 250 = 25 kA (10/350 μs)
Breaking Capacity
R = 65 kA · U = 100 kA
Poles
1/2/3/4 = 1P / 2P / 3P / 4P
Example interpretation: BHD80U4 = BHD series, 80 kA level, 100 kA breaking capacity (U), 4-pole.
