Residential Surge Protective Devices

Residential surge protection, specifically Type 1 surge protective devices (SPDs), are designed to safeguard hard-wired appliances that cannot be protected by standard plug-in surge protectors. ABB’s residential SPDs offer whole-home surge protection, defending against high-energy events such as lightning strikes or utility power surges, which can cause significant and immediate damage to electronic devices and home systems. They are designed to comply with the NEC® Art. 230.67 SPD requirements for dwelling units at or adjacent to service entrances. Plus, you can always count on the support of our dedicated team of experts. ABB provides two options for whole-house surge protectors: THOMESURGE and THQLSURGE2.
 

THOMESURGE is a Type 1 SPD designed for service entrance or subpanel locations and provides surge protection for the entire home.
THQLSURGE2 is a Type 1 plug-on SPD for 120/240 applications. The current rating is 25kA per phase protection.
