Why Choose the Mersen 83010100 Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen 83010100 is a high-performance Type 1 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect low-voltage electrical installations against transient overvoltages caused by direct lightning strikes and switching events. As part of the Mersen Surge-Trap® Monobloc STMT1 Series, it provides robust first-stage surge protection for incoming power supplies in industrial, commercial and infrastructure applications.
Featuring a compact monobloc DIN rail mounted design, the 83010100 is suitable for installation within distribution boards, switchgear and control panels. It incorporates Mersen's multi-discharge technology with leakage current free operation, delivering reliable protection throughout the life of the installation.
With a 50 kA lightning impulse current rating, a 230 V nominal operating voltage and a 275 V maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc), the Mersen 83010100 is ideal for single-phase installations requiring dependable protection against high-energy surge events.

Reliable Surge Protection for Critical Electrical Systems
The Mersen 83010100 diverts high-energy transient overvoltages safely to earth before they can damage sensitive electrical and electronic equipment. Installing a Type 1 SPD at the incoming supply helps improve system reliability and reduces downtime caused by lightning-induced surges.
It is particularly suitable for installations equipped with external lightning protection systems, overhead supply lines or locations exposed to high lightning activity, providing the first level of surge protection in accordance with EN IEC 61643-11.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panels.
- Main incoming distribution boards.
- Commercial electrical installations.
- Telecommunications and data centres.
- Water treatment facilities.
- Buildings fitted with lightning protection systems.
