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.
