Phoenix FLT-SEC Series: T1-Type Industrial Surge Protectors - Selection Guide
Product Overview
The Phoenix FLT-SEC Series (P/H sub-series) consists of T1-type (IEC Type 1) industrial surge protectors designed for primary surge protection in power networks. Adopting free discharge gap technology, these modules cover single-phase/two-phase/three-phase configurations, support S-type (neutral-earth separated) and C-type (neutral-earth combined) wiring, and offer wide voltage compatibility (264V/350V/440V AC). With two functional variants—P-type (screw terminal, basic protection) and H-type (enhanced performance)—and FM-suffixed models featuring visual status indicators and remote alarm contacts, they effectively suppress lightning and switching surges. Ideal for industrial power distribution, manufacturing plants, and high-voltage systems, they ensure reliable operation of critical equipment in harsh environments.
