Mersen 44120305 K1-3P320-M Type 1+2 surge protection device with 320 V AC maximum operating voltage, remote signalling, 12.5 kA lightning impulse current and pluggable DIN rail construction for three-phase TNC systems.
£299.74
The Mersen 44120305 K1-3P320-M is a high-performance Type 1+2 Surge Protection Device (SPD) designed to protect three-phase low-voltage electrical installations against lightning currents and transient overvoltages. As part of the established Mersen Surge-Trap® K - K1 Series, this pluggable surge protector provides first-level protection for industrial, commercial and infrastructure power distribution systems.
Designed for installation within a main distribution board, the K1-3P320-M combines substantial surge-handling capability with a compact DIN rail mounted format. Its replaceable pluggable modules simplify maintenance, while the integrated microswitch enables remote monitoring of the device condition from a control panel, building management system or other signalling circuit.
With a 320 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc), a 3+0 protection configuration and a 12.5 kA lightning impulse current per pole, the K1-3P320-M is suitable for three-phase TNC systems with a nominal operating voltage of 277/480 V AC. Its visual condition indicators and remote signalling contact help maintenance teams identify when replacement is required.
The Mersen K1-3P320-M diverts high-energy surge currents away from connected equipment before damaging overvoltages can reach critical components. This helps reduce the risk of failures in switchgear, motor drives, automation controls, power supplies and other sensitive electrical systems.
Its combined lightning-current and surge protection, remote monitoring capability and replaceable modules make it particularly suitable for installations where system availability and straightforward preventative maintenance are important.
