Why Choose the Mersen 83230129 Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen 83230129 is a high performance Type 2+3 Surge Protection Device (SPD) designed to protect low voltage electrical installations against transient overvoltages. Part of the Mersen Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT23 Series, this device provides dependable protection for three-phase plus neutral systems in commercial, industrial and automation environments.
Engineered for DIN rail installation, this pluggable SPD helps safeguard sensitive electrical equipment from voltage spikes caused by lightning activity, switching operations and network disturbances. Its compact modular format allows quick replacement, while the integrated remote indication contact enables simple monitoring of device status.
With a maximum discharge current of 20 kA (8/20 μs), a 320 V AC continuous operating voltage (Uc) and a 3+1 TT configuration, the Mersen 83230129 is ideal for protecting switchboards, machinery panels, PLC systems, drives and industrial control equipment operating on 230/400 V AC or 277/480 V AC electrical systems.
