| Specification Parameter (Click on parameter below for more information.) | ||||
| Protects from & survives temporary overvoltages (Identified by all industry groups, e.g., IEEE, UL as the main cause of SPD failure.) | Yes | No | No | No |
| SPD has been tested to its surge current rating (Confirms SPD’s real surge current capacity. Not just a summation of ratings of components.) | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| SPD has been tested to its repetitive impulse rating (Confirms product’s capacity to provide long- term reliability for protection of equipment.) | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Network-based monitoring system (To remotely quantify protection availability and to identify and document power-related events.) | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| High performance interconnect (HPI) cable (For best protection/lowest let-through voltage for equipment in the facility.) | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Installed start-up and testing of SPD (Verifies installation, presence of a N-G bond and establishes baseline ratings of installed SPD.) | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
