Introduction
Maximum discharge current is the maximum surge current that a surge protection device can discharge safely, under specific testing conditions, when selecting an SPD. The proper choice of the SPD is essential in factories, commercial buildings, data centers, substations, and similar installations with control panels, drivers, servers, transformers, and communication equipment vulnerable to electrical surges.
Storm related lightning strikes and switching surges might lead to damaging equipment, occurrence of downtime, and safety and operational problems.
