Surge Protection for Load Centres
The Square D SDSA1175T is a plug-in surge protective device designed for single-phase 120 V AC systems with three wires. It fits into QO or Homeline load centres and NQ panelboards, using two pole spaces for quick installation alongside standard circuit breakers. Electricians and facility managers can add transient voltage suppression without rewiring the panel.
Capacity and Headroom
The unit is UL Listed as a Type 2 SPD to the UL 1449 standard and complies with NEC Article 285, CSA 233.1-87 and CSA C22.2 No. 8-M1986. It provides surge suppression for the connected branch circuits where it is installed. Buyers who need whole-facility protection at the service entrance or higher surge-current ratings will require a different device class.
Thermals Noise and Power Draw
As a passive surge suppressor, the device generates no audible noise and draws negligible steady-state current during normal operation. It dissipates energy only when clamping transient overvoltages, so thermal load on the panel remains minimal. No active cooling or dedicated ventilation is required for the suppressor itself.
