Aciq SP517 Single Phase Surge Protector 120/240V

Product Description

The ACIQ SP517 is a single-phase surge protector rated for 120/240 VAC service, designed to shield HVAC systems, air conditioners, motors, and generators from lightning strikes, voltage spikes, and other transient electrical surges. Rated at a maximum surge current of 100,000 amps and a maximum energy dissipation of 1,020 joules, the SP517 provides a high level of protection for both residential and light commercial electrical systems. It carries a UL Listed classification as a Type II device, confirming compliance with recognized industry safety standards. Licensed electricians and HVAC technicians install this unit as part of a complete equipment protection strategy.

The SP517 is suited for residential and commercial HVAC applications where equipment is exposed to power quality events including lightning-induced surges and surges generated by motors, compressors, and generators cycling on and off. Its single-phase, 120/240 VAC rating makes it appropriate for standard North American residential service panels and light commercial installations. It is commonly installed at or near the service entrance or at the equipment disconnect to intercept surges before they reach sensitive controls and motors.

Installation Notes

Installation of a Type II surge protective device is typically performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 285. Power to the panel or equipment circuit must be shut off at the upstream breaker before beginning work. Verify service voltage and phase configuration match the SP517 rating prior to installation. Do not install in wet or unenclosed locations unless the mounting enclosure is rated for that environment.
