Mersen STPT2-40K275V-2PG Type 2 surge protection device with 40 kA maximum discharge current, 275 V AC Uc, 230 V AC 1Ph+N 1+1 TT configuration and pluggable DIN rail mounting.
£76.56
The Mersen 83020116 is a reliable Type 2 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect low voltage electrical installations from transient overvoltages caused by switching operations, grid disturbances and indirect lightning effects. Part of the Mersen Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT2 Series, it provides dependable protection for commercial, industrial and automation environments.
The STPT2-40K275V-2PG is designed for 230 V AC 1Ph+N TT systems and provides a 40 kA maximum discharge current (Imax) with a 20 kA nominal discharge current (In). Its 1+1 TT configuration protects both line-to-neutral and neutral-to-earth paths, making it suitable for coordinated surge protection in distribution boards and electrical panels.
With a 275 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc), compact 2 pole, 2 module pluggable construction and DIN rail mounting, the Mersen 83020116 is ideal for protecting switchboards, control panels and sensitive electrical equipment from damaging voltage surges.
Type 2 surge protection devices help divert transient overvoltages away from connected electrical equipment, reducing the risk of component damage, nuisance failures and costly downtime. They are commonly used in distribution boards as part of a coordinated low voltage surge protection strategy.
The Mersen Surge-Trap® STPT2 Series combines high surge handling capability with a compact DIN rail format and replaceable pluggable cartridges, making it a practical choice for maintaining reliable electrical protection in demanding installations.
