PD Devices Ltd: The Leading Surge Protection Device and Lightning Protection Manufacturer and Supplier
PD Devices Ltd is a UK-based company that specializes in the manufacturing and supply of surge protection devices (SPDs) and lightning protection systems (LPS). With over 30 years of experience in the industry, PD Devices has established itself as a leading provider of high-quality SPDs, LPSs, earthing solutions, bespoke MOV designs, and other related products.
The company's mission is to provide reliable and cost-effective solutions to protect people, equipment, buildings, and infrastructure from the damaging effects of electrical surges caused by lightning strikes or other power disturbances. PD Devices' products are designed to meet international standards such as IEC 61643-11 for SPDs and BS EN 62305 for LPSs.
PD Devices' range of SPDs includes Type 1 (Class I), Type 2 (Class II), Type 3 (Class III), combined Type 1+2+3 (Class I+II+III) devices. These devices are suitable for various applications such as residential homes, commercial buildings, industrial plants, data centers, telecom networks, renewable energy systems like solar PV arrays or wind turbines.
PD Devices also offers a wide range of LPS components such as air terminals/rods/masts/conductors/cables/clamps/bonding & grounding accessories. These components can be used to design bespoke LPS solutions tailored to specific site requirements. PD Devices' team of experienced engineers can provide technical support throughout the design process from risk assessment through installation & commissioning.
One unique feature that sets PD Devices apart from its competitors is its ability to manufacture bespoke MOV designs. Metal oxide varistors (MOVs) are essential components in SPDs that absorb high-energy surges by clamping voltage spikes within safe limits. However not all MOVs are created equal - different applications require different MOV characteristics such as energy handling capacity, response time, leakage current, and thermal stability. PD Devices' MOV laboratory can design and test MOVs to meet specific customer requirements.
PD Devices' commitment to quality is reflected in its ISO 9001:2015 certification for its Quality Management System (QMS). The company's products are also certified by independent testing laboratories such as KEMA-KEUR, UL, TUV Rheinland, and CE marking.
PD Devices has a global presence with customers in over 50 countries worldwide. The company's distribution network includes authorized partners who provide local sales support and technical assistance. PD Devices also offers training courses on SPD/LPS design & installation for engineers/architects/consultants/electricians.
In conclusion, PD Devices Ltd is a reliable partner for anyone looking for surge protection devices or lightning protection systems.
