Why Choose the Mersen K1-1P320 Type 1+2 Surge Protection Device?

The Mersen K1-1P320, product code 44120106, is a high-performance Type 1+2 Surge Protection Device (SPD) designed to protect low-voltage electrical installations against lightning-induced surges and transient overvoltages. Part of the Mersen Surge-Trap® K1 Series, it combines Type 1 and Type 2 surge protection in a compact, pluggable module suitable for installation at the main distribution board.

Designed for single-phase AC systems, the K1-1P320 features a 1+0 protection configuration, a maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc) of 320 V AC, and a replaceable cartridge that simplifies maintenance while reducing downtime. The robust design and international certifications make it suitable for industrial, commercial and residential electrical installations.

With a 12.5 kA lightning impulse current (Iimp), 50 kA maximum discharge current (Imax), 20 kA nominal discharge current (In), and a voltage protection level (Up) of ≤1.5 kV, the K1-1P320 delivers dependable protection for sensitive electrical equipment against lightning and switching transients.
