⚡ Acti 9 iPRD

The Acti 9 iPRD is Schneider Electric’s Surge Protection Device (SPD) designed to protect electrical installations from transient overvoltages caused by lightning strikes, switching surges, and grid disturbances.
It is a modular DIN‑rail SPD used in residential, commercial, and industrial distribution boards.

🟦 What the iPRD Does

• Diverts surge energy safely to Earth
• Protects sensitive equipment — electronics, IT loads, control circuits
• Limits transient overvoltage to safe levels
• Provides visual end‑of‑life indication

🟧 Key Characteristics

• Modular DIN‑rail design — easy installation in Acti 9 DBs
• Replaceable cartridges — quick maintenance
• Type 2 SPD(most common) for downstream protection
• Type 1+2 variants available for lightning‑exposed sites
• Remote signalling option for BMS/monitoring

🟨 Typical Applications

• Residential DBs — protect appliances and electronics
• Commercial buildings — IT rooms, office equipment
• Industrial panels — PLCs, sensors, automation systems
• Lightning‑prone sites — outdoor facilities, tall buildings

🟩 Position in the Acti 9 Family

• iPRD — surge protection (SPD)
• iC60 — MCBs (overcurrent)
• iID — RCCB (earth‑leakage)
• iDPN Vigi — RCBO (combined protection)

iPRD = transient overvoltage protection
iC60/iID/iDPN = overcurrent + leakage protection

⭐ One‑line summary

Acti 9 iPRD is a modular SPD that protects electrical installations from lightning and switching surges, safeguarding sensitive equipment and ensuring system reliability.
