The Mersen 83120103 STPT12-12K275V-1PM is a compact and dependable 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 level of protection in main distribution boards and incoming power supply panels.
This surge protection device combines lightning current discharge capability with robust surge protection in a compact single-pole pluggable format. Its replaceable cartridge design makes maintenance straightforward, while integrated visual and remote indication help support reliable monitoring of device status.
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 83120103 is ideal for L-N protection in single-phase industrial, commercial and building electrical systems.
Surge protection devices help protect electrical equipment from damaging voltage spikes caused by lightning activity, switching events and network disturbances. Installing a Type 1+2 SPD at the incoming supply point helps reduce the risk of equipment failure, downtime and costly system disruption.
The Mersen STPT12 Series is engineered for low-voltage distribution systems where robust surge protection and simple maintenance are required. The pluggable cartridge design allows fast replacement of the protection module without rewiring the complete base.
