6. Model Selection Pitfalls
7. Distinguish two similar models

FLT-SEC-T1-350/25-P (2905471, legacy designation)

FLT-SEC-P-T1-350/25-P (2905422, new SEC PLUS designation, parametri electrici identici, base compatible)

2. Purchasing this model separately only supplies the pluggable cartridge, DIN base excluded; energisation without base is not allowed.
3. Additional earthing conditions are required for IT systems; TN wiring schemes cannot be directly adopted.
4. If prospective short-circuit current of the system exceeds 3 cel (la 350 V stare de funcționare), short-circuit protection fuses must be fitted upstream.

Application Scope of FLT-SEC-T1-350/25-P (Phoenix Type 1 Plug-in SPD Cartridge)

Fundamental specification: Tip 1 (Class I) Dispozitiv de protecție la supratensiune, Iimp=25 kA (10/350 μs), Uc=350 V AC, pentru 230/400 V low-voltage AC systems. Plug-in module requiring matching base; frequently combined with Type 2 SPD for T1+T2 primary & secondary coordinated protection.

1. Scenarii de aplicație recomandate

1.1 Low-Voltage Power Distribution for Buildings (LPZ0→LPZ1 Lightning Protection Zone Boundary)

1) Main distribution rooms of commercial & cladiri rezidentiale, main incoming cabinets at utility meter front end for primary surge protection

Applicable for TN-S, TN-C-S distribution systems.

Typical projects: Clădiri de birouri, centre comerciale, hoteluri, spitale, main distribution cabinets of residential communities.

2) Main incoming cabinets of industrial plants, low-voltage side of factory main substations.

1.2 Infrastructure Industry

Tranzit feroviar: Power distribution rooms, mains incoming protection for signal rooms

Stații de bază de comunicații, edge data centres, external mains incoming cabinets of IDC computer rooms

Aeroporturi, porturi, low-voltage main power distribution in logistics parks

1.3 AC Side of New Energy Facilities

Low-voltage grid connection cabinets for commercial & industrial photovoltaic power stations (surge protection on 400 V AC incoming side)

⚠ Not applicable for PV DC circuits; special DC SPDs shall be adopted for direct current applications.

Power distribution cabinets at AC output of energy storage PCS units

1.4 Critical Automation & Security Projects

Main power incoming cabinets for DCS and PLC control systems in large factories;

Smart parks, large pump stations, main control power cabinets of wastewater treatment plants.

2. Applicable Earthing System Types

✅ Supported: TN-S, TN-C-S 230/400 V 3-phase 5-wire / 3-sisteme de fază cu 4 fire

✅ TT earthing systems (the N-PE circuit must be equipped with FLT-SEC-P-T1-N/PE-350/100-P neutral SPD)

❌ Not recommended for direct use in IT systems (neutral-less system; technical verification with Phoenix Contact support is mandatory)

3. Suitable Lightning Risk Environment

Iimp=25 kA fits the following conditions:

1. Buildings located in moderate thunderstorm regions (annual thunderstorm days: 30～60 days)
2. Buildings without complete external lightning rods and down conductors with high direct lightning strike risk
3. Projects mandatorily requiring Type 1 tested SPDs as specified in national standard GB 50057.

For severe thunderstorm areas (high lightning density zones, isolated factories in open areas), upgrade to the 50 kA Iimp variant.

4. Application Advantages Derived from Product Features
5. Hot-swappable module replacement

Ideal for facilities that cannot sustain long power outages: Hospitals with critical loads, continuous manufacturing plants, 7×24-hour operating computer rooms. Cartridge can be replaced directly without removing the complete SPD during faults.

2. Zero continuous leakage current

Suitable for upstream metering positions (no extra power consumption for electricity meters).

3. Optional FM base with remote signalling

Applicable for remotely monitored computer rooms and intelligent projects to transmit SPD fault alarms to upper control systems.

5. Unsuitable Application Scenarios (Critical Warnings)
6. ❌ DC circuits (PV DC, battery DC, 24 V industrial control DC power supply; mismatch of specifications)
7. ❌ Terminal distribution boxes at load side (only Type 2 secondary SPD is required for terminals; Tip 1 leads to excessive cost and over-specification)
8. ❌ Non-standard low-voltage power grids of 110 V sau 600 V (Uc=350 V does not match operating voltage)
9. ❌ Explosion-hazardous areas (this series has no explosion-proof certification; Phoenix Contact explosion-proof SPD series shall be selected)
10. ❌ Sole purchase of cartridges without original base for direct wiring (violates electrical safety specifications)
11. ❌ Small buildings and low lightning risk projects where only Type 2 SPD is required per code; Tip 1 installation is unnecessary.
12. Reference Standard Configuration

Standard 3-phase TN-S 400 V main incoming configuration:

3 pcs × FLT-SEC-T1-350/25-P (L1/L2/L3 phases)

+1 pc × FLT-SEC-P-T1-N/PE-350/100-P (N-PE)

Mounted on FLT-SEC series base to form a complete Type 1 protector de supratensiune. In engineering practice, Tip 2 SPDs are generally installed downstream to realise T1+T2 energy coordination.
