How should SPD components be treated in terms of maintenance?

Regular inspection and maintenance of Surge Protective Device (SPD) components are crucial for ensuring their effective performance in safeguarding electrical systems from transient overvoltages. Over time, SPDs can degrade due to repeated surges, lightning strikes, environmental factors, and normal wear and tear. Regular checks help identify worn-out or compromised components, ensuring they function correctly when needed.

By maintaining SPDs, facility operators can prevent potential equipment damage, reduce downtime, and enhance the overall reliability of electrical systems. This proactive approach allows for timely repairs or replacements, rather than facing unexpected failures that can lead to costly damage or disruptions. Regular maintenance helps extend the lifespan of the SPDs and contributes to the ongoing safety and integrity of the electrical network.
