feature S and benefitS
• Listed to UL 1449 3rd Edition for a Type 2 SPD application.
• Individual fusing for each Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs).
• There is a 1261 model for each power system configuration (neutral
grounding practice) as defined in EN60950:
TNC – Neutral and PE (protected earth conductor) are combined
throughout the system while TNCS splits the combined PEN into a
separate neutral and PE at the service entry; the U.S. practice is a
variation of this. The neutral is earthed at the transformer for both types.
The model 1261-21-TNC is suited for both TNC and TNCS systems.
TNS – Neutral is earthed at the transformer; however, is not bonded to
earth or the PE elsewhere. The PE is carried to the site from the
transformer and bonded to site earth. Model 1261-21-TNS is intended
for use on this system; it can also be used on TNCS as well as on U.S.
120/240V services without the neutral.
TT – Neutral is earthed at the transformer. The PE originates at site;
however, is not bonded to the neutral. There is no interconnection
between the PE and transformer earth. The 1261-21-TT is for use on this
system; it can also be employed upon TNS, TNCS and U.S. services
without neutral.
IT and IT-L – The transformer is unearthed or earthed through high
impedance. The PE originates at site; however, is not bonded to a service
conductor. No conductor in this system is designated as neutral. The
1261-21-IT is suited for this application; it can also be used on TT, TNS,
TNCS and U.S. services without neutral power systems.
