1250 Series General Duty AC Surge Protective Device
*RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC Jan. 27, 2003 including annex and RoHS Recast 2011/65/EU June 8, 2011.
Specifi cations are subject to change without notice.
The device characteristics and parameters in this data sheet can and do vary in different applications and actual device performance may vary over time.
Users should verify actual device performance in their specifi c applications.
The Bourns® Model 1250 Series is a general duty Surge Protective Device (SPD)
designed to protect high risk electrical service entrance and branch panels. This SPD is
intended to be installed at the front end of the installation, in the main switchboard, close
to sensitive terminals or in installations without LPS (lightning rods).
The Model 1250 Series is a single-pole module that can be confi gured for both common
mode and differential mode protection in single and three phase applications up to 480 V.
