Why Choose the Mersen 83230137 Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen 83230137 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 LF Series, this leakage current free device provides reliable protection for three-phase plus neutral TNS systems in commercial, industrial and automation environments.
Engineered for DIN rail installation, this pluggable SPD helps protect sensitive electrical equipment from voltage spikes caused by lightning activity, switching operations and network disturbances. Its modular construction supports quick replacement, while the integrated remote indication contact enables easy monitoring of device status.
With a maximum discharge current of 20 kA (8/20 μs), a 275 V AC continuous operating voltage (Uc) and a 4+0 TNS configuration, the Mersen 83230137 is ideal for protecting switchboards, distribution boards, control panels, PLCs, drives and industrial machinery operating on 230/400 V AC electrical systems.

Reliable Protection Against Electrical Surges
Surge protection devices safely divert transient overvoltages away from connected equipment before they can cause insulation failure, electronic damage or costly downtime. Installing an SPD helps improve system resilience and extends the service life of sensitive electrical and automation equipment.
The Mersen Surge-Trap® STPT23 LF Series is designed as a final stage of protection in low voltage installations where upstream protection is already installed, making it suitable for switchboards, control panels, building services and industrial machinery systems.
