FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q1: What is the lifespan of the PFSK101 YM322001-ED?
A1: The device has a long lifespan but should be replaced after a major surge event or if the status indicator shows failure.

Q2: Can this SPD be used in outdoor installations?
A2: No, it is designed for indoor use only. For outdoor applications, consider ABB’s OVR T1 series.

Q3: Does it require additional fusing?
A3: Yes, it should be installed with a backup fuse as per local electrical codes.

Q4: What is the difference between PFSK101 and PFSK102?
A4: The PFSK102 offers a higher discharge current (40kA vs. 20kA) for more demanding environments.

Q5: How do I know if the device is faulty?
A5: The status indicator will turn red or off if the device is no longer functional.

Q6: Is this SPD suitable for DC systems?
A6: No, it is designed for AC systems. For DC applications, use the OVR PV series.
