Why Choose the Mersen STPT2-40K150V-3P Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen STPT2-40K150V-3P (Part Number 83020132) is a high-performance Type 2 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect low-voltage electrical installations against transient overvoltages caused by lightning activity and electrical switching events. As part of the Mersen Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT2 Series, it provides dependable protection for industrial, commercial and infrastructure electrical systems.
Featuring a 40 kA maximum discharge current (Imax), 150 V maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc) and pluggable modular construction, this SPD supports fast installation, simple replacement and reliable long-term protection in electrical distribution panels.
Designed for 120/208 V AC three-phase systems with a 3+0 TNC configuration, the STPT2-40K150V-3P is ideal for protecting automation equipment, machine control panels, commercial switchboards, telecommunications equipment and critical low-voltage electrical installations.
