High-performance Type 1 and Type 2 SPDs optimized for Spain's solar PV installations and low-voltage electrical grids.
Spain has established itself as one of Europe's leading forces in renewable energy, driven by the ambitious Plan Nacional Integrado de Energía y Clima (PNIEC). With over 300 days of sunshine annually, utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) plants, commercial rooftop solar arrays, and residential self-consumption systems are expanding at an unprecedented rate across regions like Andalusia, Extremadura, and Castilla-La Mancha.
However, Spain's diverse geography—ranging from high-altitude mountainous plateaus to coastal areas—presents unique meteorological challenges. Lightning activity and transient overvoltages represent the leading cause of damage to sensitive solar inverters, PV modules, and industrial control systems. A single lightning strike or grid fluctuation can lead to catastrophic equipment failure, costly downtime, and lost feed-in revenue.
To mitigate these risks, Spanish EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contractors and electrical installers require highly reliable Surge Protective Devices (SPDs). These devices must not only withstand extreme thermal stress but also perform seamlessly under high DC voltages (up to 1500VDC) typical of modern utility-scale Spanish solar farms.
In Spain, electrical safety and surge protection are governed by strict national and European regulatory frameworks. Any electrical installation must comply with the Reglamento Electrotécnico para Baja Tensión (REBT), specifically instruction ITC-BT-23, which mandates the protection of installations against transient overvoltages of atmospheric origin or due to grid switching.
Furthermore, the Spanish building code, Código Técnico de la Edificación (CTE DB-SUA 8), defines when lightning protection systems (LPS) and associated SPDs are compulsory based on a rigorous risk assessment calculation. Our surge protective devices are fully engineered, tested, and certified to meet the European standard UNE-EN 61643-11 (for low-voltage AC systems) and UNE-EN 50539-11 / EN 61643-31 (specifically for photovoltaic DC applications).

Our state-of-the-art production lines utilize advanced automated assembly, precision calibration, and real-time quality tracking to ensure that every SPD leaving our factory performs flawlessly under real-world lightning conditions.
At Shuorui Electric, quality is not a mere buzzword; it is our operational foundation. In our production process, we strictly control every single link, from the initial procurement of high-stability Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) and Gas Discharge Tubes (GDTs) to the final automated testing of the finished surge protective device.
We have established strict quality inspection standards that align with international IEC 61643 protocols. Utilizing state-of-the-art surge generators, thermal stability chambers, and insulation resistance testers, our dedicated QA team ensures that every batch of SPDs shipped to Spain offers absolute reliability and long-term durability under harsh environmental conditions.
Shuorui Electric's product line is rich and diverse, covering multiple electrical protection fields. Beyond our industry-leading surge protective devices (SPD), we manufacture miniature circuit breakers (MCB), residual current circuit breakers (RCCB/RCBO), molded case circuit breakers (MCCB), smart control boxes (SCB), photovoltaic connectors, disconnectors, AC contactors, socket switches, and smart remote control switches.
This extensive product diversity allows Spanish distributors and EPC contractors to source complete, integrated electrical protection packages from a single, highly reliable manufacturer, streamlining procurement logistics and ensuring perfect component compatibility.
We understand that different markets and projects have unique technical specifications. Whether you require custom voltage ratings (such as 800VDC, 1000VDC, or 1500VDC for specific solar inverter topologies), customized housing designs, specialized packaging, or private labeling, our experienced R&D team is fully equipped to deliver.
Our flexible OEM and ODM services enable Spanish electrical brands and large-scale developers to co-develop bespoke surge protection solutions that perfectly match their technical requirements and brand identity, backed by our robust manufacturing capacity.
Compliance is paramount in the European electrical industry. Shuorui Electric operates under a rigorous ISO 9001 Quality Management System. Our products have successfully obtained major international certifications, including CE, RoHS, and TUV, ensuring they meet all safety, health, and environmental protection requirements in Spain and the wider European Union.
When you specify Shuorui SPDs for your projects in Spain, you can be completely confident that the products will pass all local regulatory inspections and utility grid connection audits without any compliance hurdles.
For Spanish procurement managers and lead engineers, sourcing surge protective devices involves balancing technical excellence with supply chain resilience. Utility-scale solar projects in regions like Extremadura require thousands of SPDs delivered on strict timelines to avoid costly project delays.

Under the Spanish building code (Código Técnico de la Edificación, CTE DB-SUA 8), a surge protection system is mandatory if the risk calculation shows that the expected number of direct or indirect lightning strikes exceeds the acceptable limit. In practice, almost all new commercial, industrial, and residential buildings in Spain—especially those with external lightning protection systems (LPS)—require Type 1 or Type 2 SPDs at the main service entrance to protect internal electrical installations and electronic equipment.
The choice depends on the presence of an external lightning rod (LPS) on the building or structure. If the building has an external lightning rod, a Type 1 (Class I) SPD is required at the main entrance to handle the high-energy direct lightning current ($I_{imp}$). If there is no external lightning rod, a Type 2 (Class II) SPD is typically sufficient to protect against indirect surges ($I_n$) induced by nearby strikes or grid switching. For solar arrays, a Type 2 DC SPD is standard at the inverter input, while a Type 1 may be required if the panels are close to an LPS.
Yes, we manufacture high-capacity surge protective devices specifically rated for 1500VDC applications, which are fully compliant with the EN 50539-11 / EN 61643-31 standards. These devices are engineered to handle the extreme thermal and electrical stresses of high-voltage DC solar strings, providing a low voltage protection level ($U_p$) to safeguard sensitive central or string inverters used in large Spanish solar farms.
For standard wholesale orders, our production lead time at our Liushi factory is typically 15 to 25 days, depending on order volume and customization requirements. Shipping to major Spanish ports (such as Valencia, Barcelona, or Algeciras) via sea freight takes approximately 30 to 35 days. For urgent project requirements, we can arrange air freight or express courier delivery, reducing transit time to 5-7 working days.
Yes, most of our Type 1 and Type 2 SPDs can be supplied with optional dry-contact remote signaling terminals (labeled as "R" or "remote"). This allows Spanish plant operators and maintenance teams to integrate the SPD status into their SCADA or industrial monitoring systems, receiving instant alerts the moment a surge module degrades or requires replacement.
Absolutely. We offer complete OEM and ODM services for established electrical brands and distributors in Spain.
