Surge protection as solution

A reliable way to increase the outdoor luminaire
protection against excessive surges is to use the
Philips Xtreme Surge Protector.
The Xtreme SPD will limit the differential and
common mode surge voltage build-up inside the
luminaire while at the same time offering a diversion
path with a lower breakdown voltage. The energy of
the voltage surge is returned as a surge current, via
the Xtreme SPD, to ground and eventually back to
the cloud. As such, it will protect both the driver and
LED module against damaging surge stress. See
figure on the left.
The Xtreme SPD has to be connected to the
protective earth connection of the luminaire.
Please refer to Electrical design for more
information.
