Why Choose the Mersen 44020100 K2-1PG Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen 44020100, also identified as the K2-1PG, is a robust Type 2 surge protection device (SPD) designed specifically to protect the neutral-to-earth (N-PE) conductor in low-voltage electrical installations against transient overvoltages. As part of the proven Mersen Surge-Trap K2 series, it provides reliable secondary surge protection for commercial, industrial and infrastructure applications.
Featuring a compact pluggable design, the K2-1PG allows rapid inspection and replacement of the protection module without removing the complete base from the DIN rail. A built-in visual status indicator clearly shows the operating condition, helping maintenance engineers quickly identify when replacement is required.
With a 255 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage, a 50 kA nominal and maximum discharge current and a voltage protection level of ≤1.5 kV, the Mersen 44020100 offers dependable protection against switching surges and lightning-induced transient voltages. Its compact single-module format makes it ideal for installation in modern electrical distribution boards and switchgear assemblies.
