OSRAM SPD 20 275 P5 G2 IP65 Surge Protector

The OSRAM Surge Protection Device SPD 20 275 P5 G2 is a high-performance, industrial-grade surge protector designed to safeguard outdoor LED lighting systems, streetlights, and power grids against severe voltage spikes, transient surges, and lightning strikes up to 20kV / 10kA. Engineered for compatibility with TN power grid systems, it features an ultra-low energy power loss of just 0.1%, integrated 15A overcurrent protection, and a visual LED End-of-Life (EOL) indicator for proactive maintenance. Capable of enduring multiple strike levels—ranging from a 20kA single strike to fifty 5kA strikes—this OSRAM SPD ensures maximum operating life, minimal downtime, and complete electrical safety for LED luminaires across urban and industrial infrastructures in Malaysia.

Reliable High-Voltage Protection for Modern Outdoor LED Systems

Transient electrical surges caused by switching operations, lightning strikes, and grid fluctuations pose a constant threat to expensive LED lighting infrastructure. The OSRAM Surge Protection Device SPD 20 275 P5 G2 provides robust, multi-stage protection designed to intercept harmful power surges before they damage LED drivers and light engines. Built with OSRAM’s signature engineering standards, this Generation 2 (G2) surge protection device (SPD) delivers heavy-duty protection for street lighting, architectural illumination, tunnel lighting, and industrial facility networks operating on TN power grids.

High Surge Withstand Capacity & Voltage Protection

Designed for severe surge environments, the OSRAM SPD 20 275 P5 G2 provides line-to-neutral (L-N) surge protection up to 20 kV and line/neutral-to-ground (L/N-Ground) protection up to 15 kV. It features a nominal discharge current of 10 kA (L-N) and 7.5 kA (L/N-Ground), keeping residual voltage levels safely below sensitive equipment thresholds. With maximum voltage protection levels (Up) locked at 1.5 kV (L-N) and 2.0 kV (L/N-Ground), connected equipment remains completely isolated from dangerous potential overvoltages.

The unit is engineered to withstand multiple transient surge strikes without performance degradation:

• 20 kA (L-N) / 15 kA (L/N-Ground): 1 Strike

• 10 kA (L-N) / 7.5 kA (L/N-Ground): 20 Strikes

• 5 kA (L-N) / 5 kA (L/N-Ground): Up to 50 Strikes

This multi-strike resilience reduces driver failure rates, lowers maintenance overheads, and guarantees uninterrupted long-term operation.

Integrated LED End-of-Life (EOL) Indicator & Safety Mechanisms

Unlike traditional surge arresters that fail silently and leave lighting circuits unprotected, the OSRAM SPD 20 275 P5 G2 features an intuitive LED status light for End-of-Life (EOL) indication. Maintenance crews can quickly inspect fixtures visually to verify operational status without taking down units or using complex diagnostic gear. Furthermore, the device incorporates an internal 15 A overcurrent protection mechanism, preventing thermal overload and protecting upstream circuit breakers during severe grid anomalies.

Energy-Efficient Performance & Grid Compatibility

With an ultra-efficient power loss rating of just 0.1% of total system power, the OSRAM SPD 20 275 P5 G2 introduces negligible power draw, making it an eco-friendly addition to high-efficiency LED luminaires. Optimized specifically for TN electrical supply systems, it simplifies wiring setups and complies with international safety standards for outdoor and industrial installations.
