Citel Replacement SPD Modules in Hyderabad — Cartridge Spares for Field-Serviceable SPDs
Vasundhara Performance Solutions is the authorised Hyderabad supplier for Citel replacement SPD modules — plug-in cartridge spares for Citel Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 surge protective devices. After an SPD operates to end-of-life (status indicator window changes colour), the base unit stays mounted in the distribution board and only the spent module is swapped — no rewiring, no isolation procedure beyond a brief power-off. Restores surge protection in under 60 seconds per replacement. Pan-India dispatch from Secunderabad warehouse for plant maintenance + electrical contractor + facilities-management buyers.

Citel Replacement Module Range
Citel replacement modules cover all field-serviceable SPD families — Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, data-line, and solar PV variants.
DACN1-25VGS Type 1 Replacement Module
Plug-in replacement cartridge for Citel DACN1-25VGS Type 1 SPDs (Iimp 25 kA and 50 kA per pole). Operated module swap-out restores Type 1 lightning protection. Stock-and-replace model for plants with multiple Type 1 SPDs.
DS Type 2 Replacement Module
Plug-in replacement cartridge for Citel DS Type 2 SPDs (In 20-40 kA per pole). The most commonly replaced module across Indian industrial installations — Type 2 sees more frequent switching transients than Type 1. Stock 1-2 spares per installation.
DAC / DLU Type 3 Replacement Module
Plug-in replacement cartridge for DIN-rail (DAC) and plug-strip (DLU) Type 3 SPDs. Lower-amperage but more numerous — every PLC cabinet + server rack may have multiple Type 3 SPDs. Bulk stock for facilities with 50+ installed Type 3 SPDs.
DLA Data-Line Replacement Module
Plug-in replacement for Citel DLA Type 3 data-line SPDs (RJ45 Ethernet, RS-485, 4-20 mA, RJ11). Operates from data-line surge events — less frequent than power-line but critical for instrument loops + comms protection.
DAC Combination Replacement Modules
Replacement modules for combination SPDs (Type 1+2, Type 1+2+3) — used where space constraints required combined Type SPD installations. Specialty supply on enquiry.
Citel SPD Spare-Parts Programme
For facilities with 100+ installed Citel SPDs, Vasundhara offers a spare-parts programme: pre-positioned spares at customer site + 24-hour replenishment + annual visual inspection of installed SPD indicators + replacement-scheduling guidance.
Technical Specifications
Standard property values across the range. TDS / MSDS / per-batch COA available on enquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from plant-maintenance + electrical-contractor buyers sourcing Citel replacement SPD modules through Vasundhara.
When should I replace a Citel SPD module?
Replace when the thermal-disconnect status indicator shows end-of-life: (1) window-style indicator changes from green to red; (2) remote-contact indicator triggers an alarm signal. Triggered by exceeded surge energy (operated SPD) or aged-out internal MOV (≥ 10-15 years). Visual check monthly + after every major lightning event in the area. Once end-of-life is indicated, the operated module no longer protects — schedule replacement within days, not weeks.
Can I replace a Citel SPD module without an electrician?
For DIN-rail SPDs (DAC, DS, DAC base units): replacement requires switching off the protected circuit briefly, removing the operated module by pulling/unlocking the cartridge, inserting the new module, and restoring power. Competent maintenance technicians can do this; full electrician licence not strictly required if isolation procedure is followed. For wall-mount + plug-strip SPDs (DLU): purely plug-in replacement, no electrical work.
How many spare Citel modules should I stock?
Recommended stock as % of installed SPD count: Type 1 SPDs — 5-10% spare stock (Type 1 operates rarely, only on major lightning events); Type 2 SPDs — 15-25% spare stock (most frequently replaced — switching transients hit Type 2 often); Type 3 SPDs — 10-15% spare stock (depending on local lightning activity). Solar PV SPDs — 20-30% spare stock (monsoon-season lightning concentration). Plus 1-2 spares per critical installation for same-day swap-out.
Are Citel replacement modules genuine vs counterfeit?
Vasundhara supplies only genuine Citel-branded replacement modules with traceable factory batch IDs. Counterfeit Citel modules sometimes appear in the Indian market — they often work briefly but fail prematurely or fail to operate on actual surge events, leaving equipment unprotected. Always source from authorised distributors. We provide certificate of genuineness + factory-batch traceability on every order.
Can I mix Citel modules across different installation dates?
Yes — Citel replacement modules of the same model number (e.g., DS Type 2 In 40 kA) are interchangeable regardless of manufacturing date. Stock can be rotated FIFO for inventory control. Verify the module's compatibility with the base SPD by checking the model number on the base unit before ordering replacement modules. Cross-check against the Citel compatibility matrix (provided with first order).
What's the shelf life of stocked Citel modules?
Citel SPD modules have indefinite shelf life when stored in original packaging at ambient indoor conditions (15-30°C, low humidity). MOV components don't degrade significantly during storage; capacitor components similarly stable. Long-term stocked modules should be visually inspected before installation for any damage during storage.
Do you supply Citel modules with annual rate contracts for plant MRO?
Yes. Vasundhara offers annual rate-contract supply for Citel replacement modules to plant maintenance + facilities management customers. Pre-agreed pricing + scheduled delivery + on-demand emergency dispatch after lightning events. Suitable for facilities with 50+ installed Citel SPDs across multiple locations.
Is Vasundhara the authorised Citel distributor for South India?
Yes. Vasundhara Performance Solutions Pvt Ltd is the authorised Citel Surge Protection distributor for Hyderabad, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and South India. Full manufacturer authorisation documentation provided on enquiry. See our Citel brand page.
