Add an extra layer of protection to your LED lighting with a part that installs in minutes. The SPECLITE surge protector ZZSP20LHVPCZY is a parallel connection SPD (surge protection device) rated 20kV, designed to shield LED drivers from the voltage spikes caused by lightning, utility switching and large motors starting up. It suits 120-347V lighting circuits, from 120V residential and retail fixtures to the 347V lighting common in Canadian warehouses, plants and parking lots.

Wired across the supply ahead of the LED driver, this LED driver surge protector sits in parallel with the load: the fixture keeps running normally while the module diverts surge energy away from the electronics. With a 20kV surge rating and a 120-347V operating range, one model covers most lighting circuits on a job, which simplifies ordering and stock on the truck. It connects with wire nuts, the same way electricians already terminate fixtures, and it is UL certified. Protecting the driver is a simple way to extend the life of the whole luminaire and avoid costly service calls to replace failed drivers in hard-to-reach places.

Install it in parking lot pole lights, wall packs, flood lights, canopies, high bays and outdoor fixtures, or anywhere storms and long feeders expose lighting to surges. It goes in the fixture or in the junction box during new work, retrofits or routine maintenance, and works with LED drivers and fixtures from 120V to 347V. Add the ZZSP20LHVPCZY to your next lighting project and give your drivers the protection they need.

Description and specifications – ZZSP20LHVPCZY

What a surge protector does for LED fixtures
An LED fixture lives or dies by its driver, the small electronic power supply that converts line voltage for the LEDs. Drivers are sensitive to transients: a lightning strike on nearby lines, a utility switching operation or the inrush of a large motor can push a spike far above normal voltage. A surge protection device for LED lighting placed ahead of the driver diverts that energy to protect the electronics. The ZZSP20LHVPCZY from SPECLITE is rated 20kV and covers lighting circuits from 120V to 347V.

Parallel connection: no interruption
This model is a parallel SPD. Rather than carrying the fixture's current, it is connected across the supply, between the conductors, just ahead of the driver. In normal operation it stays out of the way and the fixture runs as usual; when a surge appears, the protector conducts and diverts the excess energy. Because it is not in the current path, the luminaire keeps working even after the module has absorbed surges, which suits sites where keeping the lights on matters most, such as parking lots, entrances and security lighting.

Installation with wire nuts
The ZZSP20LHVPCZY terminates with wire nuts, so any electrician can add it with the tools and methods already used to connect fixtures. It installs inside the fixture's wiring compartment or in the junction box feeding it, during new construction, a retrofit or scheduled maintenance. Connect it on the supply side of the LED driver and make sure the fixture has a proper equipment ground. Always follow the electrical code and turn the power off before working on the circuit.

Where to use it
Typical uses include pole lights in parking lots, wall packs on buildings and loading docks, flood lights for signs and façades, gas station canopies, high bays in warehouses and outdoor fixtures on long feeders. In regions exposed to summer storms, adding an SPD to each fixture is an inexpensive way to reduce driver failures and the service calls that come with them, especially on fixtures mounted high where a bucket truck is needed.
