    Safe and Easy Surge Protection

    01/26/2026

    ­The new VALVETRAB Safe Protection Plus (VAL-SPP) surge protective devices from Phoenix Contact protect both the installers and the end equipment. The new SPDs feature miswiring and touch protection, plus a reduced tightening torque of just 3 Newton-meters (Nm).

    The family includes the VAL-US-SPP, designed for common power supply systems in North America in accordance with the NEMA standard. The North American version is UL Listed and fully compliant with NFPA 79, which requires surge protection on safety circuits.

    The SPP family features modular, plug-in remote signaling to simplify installation and reduce maintenance time and effort. Reinforced insulation ensures additional user and system safety. Rapid disconnection ensures a high level of operational safety.

    The VAL-SPP devices protect both AC and photovoltaic (PV) applications with different nominal voltages. The portfolio includes versions for grids with strong voltage fluctuations. The robust design enables installation in altitudes up to 5,000 meters.
