New benchmark in surge protection: Easy and safe installation and operation
17 September 2025
THE NEW Valvetrab Safe Protection Plus (VAL-SPP) surge protective devices from Phoenix Contact provide surge protection with forward-thinking installation and safety features, which ensures high system availability.

The devices are characterised in particular by their simplicity and safety. They boast innovative features such as miswiring and touch protection, plus a reduced tightening torque of just 3Nm. The product family also provides maximum performance and endurance to deliver reliable protection. Reinforced insulation also ensures additional user and system safety. The direct response behaviour protects the backup fuse and installation. Rapid disconnection ensures a high level of operational safety.
The VAL-SPP surge protective device covers applications for AC and PV with various different nominal voltages. Versions for grids with strong voltage fluctuations extend the portfolio. The robust design enables installation in harsh environments and at altitudes up to 5000m. The option of use without a backup fuse up to 315 A enables space-saving and cost-effective installation.
Comprehensive digital data for ECAD systems makes system planning easier and completes the product family. The online selection guide enables you to quickly find the right product for the application. With the modular accessories, additional functions can also be integrated easily at a later time.
