Schneider SDSA1175T – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Which SDSA model do I order for a 120V single phase circuit versus a 600V three phase delta system?
Two voltage configurations are offered on the Schneider Surgelogic SDSA. The SDSA1175T is the 120V, single phase, 2W+G single pole unit. The SDSA3650D is the 600V, three phase, 3W+G delta unit. Pick by the system you are landing on, not by the surge rating, since both share the same 10 kA nominal discharge and 36 kA surge current numbers.
2) Can a Schneider SDSA surge protector be mounted outdoors on a wet or washdown wall?
Yes. The SDSA carries a NEMA 4X rating, which covers dust, hose-directed water and corrosive environments, so outdoor walls, washdown areas and coastal or chemical-exposed sites are within its enclosure rating.
3) Is the SDSA a Type 1 or Type 2 SPD, and can it go on the line side of the main?
It is classified as a Type 1 SPD. Type 1 devices are the ones permitted on the line side of the service disconnect, which is why the SDSA is used for service entrance and whole-facility protection. A Type 2 device would be restricted to the load side of the main overcurrent device.
4) How does the SDSA connect to the panel, and how much lead do I get?
Connection is by flying leads, not terminal lugs, with 24 inches of cable supplied. That matters on install: SPD lead length should be kept as short and straight as practical, so mount the unit close to the panel and trim rather than coil the excess.
5) Will the SDSA3650D work on a 480V wye service?
No. The SDSA3650D is built for a 600V three phase 3-wire plus ground delta system. SPDs are voltage and configuration specific, so a 480V wye service needs the SDSA model matched to that system, not the 3650D. Using a delta-configured unit on a wye system leaves the neutral path unprotected.
6) How do I tell if a Surgelogic SDSA has taken a hit and needs replacing?
There is a status LED on the unit for local indication. It is a visual check only, so it needs someone to walk the panel; there is no remote contact or alarm output in the standard function option. Schneider lists the device as non-serviceable, so a failed unit gets replaced rather than repaired, and average life duration is given as 10 years.
7) Is the Schneider SDSA RoHS and REACH compliant for a spec submittal?
On RoHS, the SDSA is in scope and reports as Compliant with Exemptions, with exemption information available. On REACH, the reference contains Substances of Very High Concern above the threshold, so a facility with SVHC reporting obligations needs to log that. The device is mercury free. Country of origin is Mexico.
8) Is a 10 kA / 36 kA SPD enough for a commercial building service entrance?
The SDSA is rated at 10 kA nominal discharge current with 36 kA surge current capacity and is segmented by Schneider for commercial applications, which puts it in the range typically used for service entrance and distribution panel protection in commercial buildings. For a very high exposure site or a critical-load facility, a higher surge current Surgelogic unit is the usual step up, but the specification driver is your engineer's stated kA per phase, not the device family.
9) Is the SDSA part of the Surgelogic line, and does that matter for standardizing a facility?
Yes, the SDSA sits in Schneider's Surgelogic range under the SPD NEMA subrange. If your property already standardizes on Surgelogic at the panelboards, staying in the same range keeps the status indication, mounting habits and replacement practice consistent across openings and keeps your maintenance techs looking at the same LED for the same meaning.
