Overview

The Littelfuse SPDN-B240-1P surge protection device (SPDN series) is a 1+0 configuration SPD designed for sub-distribution board applications operating at 60V to 600V nominal voltage. This compact device safeguards sensitive equipment from transient overvoltage events lasting microseconds by clamping excessive voltage spikes, preventing costly damage and operational downtime. The 1+0 configuration eliminates redundant protective elements, simplifying installation and reducing panel space requirements—ideal for space-constrained environments. Key features include a stacked Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) design for high-transient voltage protection, thermally protected MOVs to eliminate catastrophic failure, and an external LED indicator for quick identification of service requirements. The device installs on either the line or load side of the circuit breaker, enabling maintenance without disrupting the entire electrical system. With a UL 1449 Type 1 rating, the SPDN-B240-1P meets rigorous safety standards for reliable performance in harsh electrical environments. Applications span industrial, commercial, and utility sectors, including construction, food and beverage, HVAC/R, light industrial, oil and gas, and water/wastewater facilities. Its compact footprint allows easy retrofit into existing panels, while the thermally protected MOVs ensure long-term reliability. For OEMs and panel builders, this SPD provides a cost-effective solution to extend equipment lifespan and maintain operational continuity.
