Why Choose the Mersen 44120409 K1-4PG320-M Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen 44120409 K1-4PG320-M is a premium Type 1+2 Surge Protection Device (SPD) engineered to protect three-phase low-voltage electrical installations from lightning currents and transient overvoltages. Part of the trusted Mersen Surge-Trap® K - K1 Series, this pluggable surge protector combines exceptional surge protection with integrated remote signalling, making it ideal for industrial, commercial and critical infrastructure applications.
Designed for installation within the main distribution board, the K1-4PG320-M features a modular pluggable construction that enables rapid replacement of protection cartridges during servicing. Its integrated microswitch allows remote monitoring of the device status, enabling maintenance personnel to receive fault notifications without opening the enclosure, reducing downtime and simplifying preventative maintenance.
With a 320 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc), a 3+1 protection configuration and a 12.5 kA lightning impulse current (Iimp), the K1-4PG320-M is designed for TT and TNS 277/480 V AC three-phase electrical systems, providing dependable protection against direct lightning currents and switching surges.

Reliable Protection Against Electrical Surges
The Mersen K1-4PG320-M safely diverts damaging lightning currents and transient overvoltages away from connected electrical equipment before they can affect switchgear, PLCs, variable speed drives, automation systems and other sensitive electronics. This helps reduce maintenance costs, minimise downtime and improve overall installation reliability.
Its combination of high surge capacity, integrated remote monitoring and pluggable cartridge design makes it an ideal solution for industrial facilities, commercial buildings, utilities, renewable energy installations and other critical power distribution systems.
