Dedicated buyer-intent landing pages for each Citel Surge Protection product family — technical specs, FAQs, and direct enquiry.
Common questions from buyers sourcing through Vasundhara Performance Solutions.
Yes. Vasundhara Performance Solutions is an authorised CITEL surge protection device distributor in Hyderabad, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, supplying genuine CITEL SPDs with manufacturer warranty and technical support.
We stock the full CITEL SPD range: Type 1 (lightning current arresters), Type 2 (overvoltage SPDs), Type 3 (fine-protection SPDs), DS series for AC power, DC SPDs for solar PV installations, and data/signal line surge protectors for telecom, BMS, and industrial networks.
SPD selection depends on Lightning Protection Zone (LPZ), system voltage, required discharge current (In), impulse current (Iimp), and installation location. Our engineers provide complete SPD selection, coordination, and installation guidance per IEC 62305 and IEC 61643 standards.
Yes. CITEL manufactures dedicated DC SPDs for solar PV systems on both the DC side (array combiner boxes, inverters) and AC side (grid connection), with voltage ratings from 500V DC up to 1500V DC matching utility-scale and commercial solar requirements.
Yes. We provide SPD selection, single-line diagram review, installation guidance, coordination with upstream protection, earthing verification, and commissioning support. Our technical team can assist electrical contractors and consultants across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
Yes. All CITEL SPDs supplied through Vasundhara Performance come with full manufacturer warranty and IEC 61643-compliant certification. Failed SPDs (which have reached end-of-life protecting equipment) can be replaced as per CITEL warranty terms.
VG Technology (Voltage-protection-Graded gas discharge tube) is CITEL's proprietary GDT design that achieves a much lower let-through voltage than standard GDTs — used in their Type 1 and Type 1+2 SPDs to give better protection of downstream sensitive equipment. CTC Technology (Combined Technology Cartridge) integrates a varistor (MOV) and gas discharge tube into a single replaceable cartridge, combining the high-energy capacity of GDTs with the fast response of MOVs. SPD+Counter integrates a surge counter on the SPD body so you can monitor surge events without external metering. All three are available across CITEL's AC, DC, and data SPD families.
Yes. CITEL publishes a dedicated wind-turbine SPD range — DACN1-25CVGS-30-760 and DAC50S-30-760 for 230/400 V circuits, DACN30VGS-30-1260 and DS41S-1000 for 690 V circuits, DLC-24D3/RE and MJ8-POE-A-SD for datalines, and the LMS-W lightning monitoring system. We stock and supply that range in India. For energy storage systems (ESS), CITEL offers battery-bank SPDs, BMS (Battery Management System) SPDs, and PCS (Power Conversion System) SPDs sized for utility-scale storage and grid-tie battery installations. With India's growing renewables and storage market, this is one of CITEL's fastest-growing application segments.
CITEL’s DPVN range covers DC SPD protection at array combiner boxes with 1000 V and 1500 V DC ratings, and AC SPDs on the inverter and grid-tie side. The range includes thermal disconnection. CEA (Central Electricity Authority) technical standards require IEC 61643-31 compliant DC SPDs at array combiner boxes — CITEL DPVN range meets this requirement.
Pick by the data type: Ethernet/PoE — CITEL MJ8-POE for IP cameras, access points, network switches with PoE. Standard Ethernet (no PoE) — MJ8-RJ45. Industrial process loops — DLA-12D3 for RS232, DLC-24D3 for RS485 / Modbus / Profibus. Coaxial RF — P8AX-N for cellular antennas, P8AX-BNC for CCTV coax, P8AX-FF-FF for satellite uplink. Telecom POTS — DLU-170 for analog phone lines and PABX trunks. For 4-20mA process instrumentation loops — B280-06D3. Our technical team helps with the right model for each circuit based on your single-line diagram.
