Why Choose the Mersen 83120117 Surge Protection Device?

The Mersen 83120117 STPT12-12K320V-2PGM is a 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 main distribution boards, incoming power supply panels and installations requiring dependable first-level surge protection.

This device provides combined protection for single-phase plus neutral systems, using a 1+1 TT configuration with L-N and N-PE protection modes. Its pluggable format allows quick replacement of protection modules, while integrated remote indication supports convenient status monitoring from a panel indicator or control system.

With a 12.5 kA lightning impulse current (10/350 μs), 277 V nominal operating voltage (Un) and 320 V L-N maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc), the 83120117 provides robust protection for industrial, commercial and infrastructure electrical systems.

Reliable Protection Against Transient Overvoltages

Surge protection devices help protect electrical equipment from damaging voltage spikes caused by lightning activity, switching operations and disturbances on the power network. Installing a Type 1+2 SPD at the incoming supply point helps reduce the risk of equipment damage, downtime and disruption to critical electrical systems.

The Mersen STPT12 Series is engineered for low-voltage distribution applications where reliable surge protection, compact installation and straightforward maintenance are required. The pluggable format allows protection modules to be replaced quickly without rewiring the complete assembly.

Typical Applications

  • Main electrical distribution boards.
  • Incoming power supply panels.
  • Single-phase plus neutral electrical systems.
  • Commercial building installations.
  • Industrial control panels.
  • Infrastructure and critical power systems.
