Choosing In and Imax

Balance environment severity and lifecycle.

SPD discharge current ratings

In (nominal)

Current the SPD can withstand for repeated standardized tests. Higher In generally means more robust for harsh sites.

Imax

Maximum discharge current for a single 8/20 µs event rating on Type 2 devices.

Practical advice

Tropical coastal industrial sites often standardize on higher In than quiet urban offices.
