Why Choose the Mersen 83120007 Surge-Trap Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen 83120007, also known as SP12-25K275V, is a high-performance Type 1+2 surge protection device designed to protect electrical installations from lightning currents and transient overvoltages. It is suitable for use in industrial, commercial and power distribution systems where reliable incoming surge protection is required.
As part of the Mersen Surge-Trap STPT12 25 kA series, this pluggable SPD is engineered for installation at the origin of an electrical system. It helps discharge high-energy surge currents while limiting voltage spikes that could otherwise damage downstream equipment, control panels, automation systems and sensitive electronics.
With a 25 kA lightning impulse current rating, 100 kA maximum discharge current and 275 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage, the Mersen 83120007 is a robust 1 pole Type 1+2 SPD for 230 V networks and coordinated surge protection applications.
