SPD vs TVSS Comparison Guide

SPD and TVSS provide surge protection, but TVSS offers additional filtering capabilities. TVSS protects equipment in all wiring modes through lower response times below 1 nanosecond and higher surge current capacity up to 1000kA. TVSS units have enhanced monitoring, testing, safety certification, and coordination compared to SPD devices.
