Why Choose the Mersen 44020200 K2-2PG275 Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen 44020200, also identified as the K2-2PG275, is a compact and reliable Type 2 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect single-phase low-voltage electrical installations against transient overvoltages. As part of the proven Mersen Surge-Trap K2 series, it combines line-to-neutral (L-N) and neutral-to-earth (N-PE) protection within a single pluggable unit, making it ideal for TT and TN-S electrical systems.
The K2-2PG275 features a pluggable cartridge design that simplifies maintenance and replacement without removing the complete base from the DIN rail. Its integrated visual status indicator enables quick inspection of the protection module, helping maintenance personnel minimise downtime and maintain continuous surge protection.
With a 275 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage (L-N), 255 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage (N-PE), a 20 kA nominal discharge current and a 50 kA maximum discharge current, the Mersen 44020200 provides dependable protection against switching transients and lightning-induced surges. Its compact two-module DIN-rail format makes it suitable for distribution boards, switchgear and industrial control panels.
