Surge Protective Device · 120/208V 3-Phase · Type 1 Panel-Mount Protection · Clean Volt CV2
What this product is for
The Clean Volt CV2 is a panel-mounted Type 1 surge protective device (SPD) for 120/208V, 3-phase electrical systems. It is designed to divert damaging transient overvoltage events at the panel and is commonly selected for commercial, light industrial, and larger multi-load electrical systems where surge exposure and equipment sensitivity are concerns.
Use for
Use it on 120/208V 3-phase panels up to 1000A where you need surge protection at the service or distribution level. It is suitable for protecting panels feeding controls, electronics, automation equipment, refrigeration, office loads, and other connected devices affected by repeated surge activity.
Typical guidance: panel-level SPDs are commonly used to reduce nuisance damage to sensitive electronics and downstream equipment. Actual performance depends on installation conditions, conductor length, grounding, system layout, and local electrical code.
Avoid for
Avoid using this model on the wrong system voltage or phase configuration. Do not treat it as a voltage regulator or UPS; the manufacturer states it is a passive surge device and does not top off low voltage during sags. The installation schematic also notes not to parallel the unit with refrigeration unless alarm monitored.
Best for
Best for electricians and facility teams looking for a hard-wired SPD for 120/208V 3-phase panels, especially where connected equipment includes electronic controls or other surge-sensitive loads. It is also a fit where short lead lengths and proper panel-side installation can be maintained to support the published response characteristics.
Installed in
Installed on the side of an electrical panel and wired into a full-size 20A branch breaker by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer schematic calls for keeping phase and neutral leads as short as possible and using a 3/4 in (19 mm) chase-nipple hole. Product size is approximately 3.0 x 4.5 x 4.75 in (76 x 114 x 121 mm), and weight is about 7.75 lb (3.5 kg).
Why this product exists
This SPD exists to provide panel-level surge protection for 120/208V 3-phase systems while also addressing power-quality-related surge dynamics described by the manufacturer. Clean Volt positions the CV2 as a Type 1 device using patented fail-safe varistor technology, with less than 1 nanosecond response time when installed with 6 in (152 mm) leads.
Compared with similar products
Compared with plug-in surge strips or point-of-use devices, the CV2 is a hard-wired panel SPD intended to protect at the distribution point. Compared with lower-voltage single-phase models, this CV2 version is specifically matched to 120/208V 3-phase systems and carries a higher listed discharge capacity of 20,000A on an 8 x 20 microsecond pulse basis. As with most SPDs, correct voltage selection, short conductor length, and proper grounding practice are key buying and installation considerations.
