ALL MODE or 7 MODE MOV Technology
MOV+Gas Discharge Tube Technology
(3+1 Technology)
AC Surge Protection Device (ACSPD)
The effect of direct and indirect lightning strikes to buildings
and structures causes power surges that are induced through
the power cables on to the mains electrical distribution system
which can be disastrous and the effect could result to all forms
of electrical and electronic equipment premature ageing,
malfunction or damaged.
Because of its robust design, the DUVAL® AC Surge
Protection Devices (ACSPD) is capable of diverting high surge
energy from both direct (10/350µs) and indirect (8/20µs)
lightning current and over voltages to ground and limit a low let
through voltage across its terminals.
DUVAL® AC Surge Protection Devices (ACSPD) is
manufactured according to IEC 61643-11 and is based on the
latest state of art technology to cater for different requirement.
Its configuration comes in 2 designs, based on:

Common and differential mode

· 3+1 Technology
· MOV and Spark-gap/ Gas Discharge Tube Technology
· Modular & Pluggable type

Grey=Active Red=End of Surge Full mode

Arrester life · All Mode or 7 Mode Technology
· All MOV Technology
· Modular & Pluggable type

Both configurations use only the highest quality material of

ALL MODE or 7 MODE MOV Technology
Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) combining with strong Spark-gap
or Gas Discharge Tube Technology to cater for very high surge
energy.
All DUVAL® AC Surge Protection Devices (ACSPD) with MOVs
in the plug-in modules are completely embedded with epoxy
resin to prevent fire hazard and flash over between MOV’s.

For model D80B, D40C, D25D, all phases and neutral

protection modes are with status indicators and Local Remote
Indication to provide faster respond to rectify the system in
MOV+Gas Discharge Tube Technology
case of surge and therefore to avoid loss in equipment life.
(3+1 Technology)
All pluggable modules are of Fool-Proof Plug-In Technology,
with clear design to differentiate phase cartridge from neutral
cartridge hence preventing any wrong insertion of cartridge.
DUVAL® AC Surge Protection Devices (ACSPD) design are
user-friendly, it clearly indicate the status of the surge arrester.
GREY/GREEN indicates the surge arrester is in active mode
and RED indicates the end of surge arrester life.

DUVAL® AC Surge Protection Device (ACSPD)
Surge Protection Device (SPD) Waveforms
DUVAL® AC Surge Protection Devices (ACSPD) is manufactured according to IEC 61643-11 Standard. The following
waveform are applied in the manufacturing of DUVAL ® AC Surge Protection Devices (ACSPD). All tests are also carried
out based on these respective waveform according to IEC 61643-11.

Class 1 waveform: 10/350µs (Iimp)

 Use to measure capability of Class 1 Surge Protection Device.
 Result recorded in Iimps at x kA of 10/350µs waveform.
 Eg: DUVAL® D150B Class 1 Surge Protection Device is based on 7 mode
ALL MOV Technologies with tested Iimp of 15kA with 10/350µs
waveform.

Class 2 waveform: 8/20µs (Imax)

 Use to measure capability of Class 2 Surge Protection Device.
 Result recorded in Imax at x kA of 8/20µs waveform.
 Eg: DUVAL® D100B Class 2 Surge Protection Device is based on 7 mode
ALL MOV Technologies with tested Imax of 100kA, 65kA and 40kA
available with 8/20µs waveform.

DUVAL® D80B and D40C Class 2 Surge Protection Device also

available with 3+1 mode Technologies with tested Imax of 100kA,
65kA and 40kA with 8/20µs waveform respectively.

Class 3 Combination waveform test base on

 Open Circuit Voltage Uoc = 1.2/50µs (20 kV/10 kV/6kV).
 Short Circuit Current Isc = 8/20µs (10kA/5kA/3kA).
 Eg: DUVAL® D25D Class 3 Surge Protection Device is based on 7 mode
ALL MOV Technologies with a tested Uoc/Isc of 6kV/3kA test result.

Protection Mode for TT Network

DUVAL® AC Surge Protection Devices (ACSPD) have 2 specific design to provide protection in common mode and
differential mode, as well as in ALL mode protection configurations.

For ALL mode (7 mode) protection, DUVAL® Technology is based on Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) Technology only,
providing a COMPLETE PROTECTION with lower let through voltage for the system.

For common and differential mode (3+1) mode, DUVAL® Technology is based on Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) for its phase
protection and Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) or Spark-gap (SG) technology for its neutral protection.

Installation Rules
50cm rule
For safety and effectiveness, it is important to keep the cable to a maximum 50cm length bundle together in the shape of
T-wiring (parallel to load) or a V-wiring connection (series to load) or it is to be as short as possible. The main reason is that
when a 10kA lightning current is travelling along a 1 meter cable, the voltage across it is 1200Volts for I: 10kA wave 8/20,
U: 1200V (1m:1µH:1200V).

Equal Potential
All Surge Protection Devices (SPD) that are earthed in the same circuit must be equally connected or bonded to the main
earth to achieve equipotentiality. The earth resistance must be in between 5 to 10 ohm or lower.
