Why Choose the Mersen 83120102 Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen 83120102 STPT12-12K275V-1P is a compact and reliable Type 1+2 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect low-voltage electrical installations against lightning currents and transient overvoltages. Part of the Mersen Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT12 Series, it is suitable for use as the first stage of protection in incoming power supply panels and main distribution boards.
This surge protection device combines lightning current discharge capability with effective voltage surge protection in a space-saving single-module format. Its pluggable construction allows fast cartridge replacement, while visual indication supports straightforward maintenance and fault identification.
With a 12.5 kA lightning impulse current (10/350 μs), 275 V maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc) and 230 V nominal operating voltage (Un), the 83120102 is ideal for single-phase L-N protection in industrial, commercial and building electrical systems.
Key Advantages
Type 1+2 surge protection device for lightning and transient overvoltage protection.
