Why Choose the Mersen 83230500 Surge Protection Device?

The Mersen 83230500 is a compact Type 2+3 Surge Protection Device (SPD) designed to protect low voltage AC and DC electrical installations against transient overvoltages. Part of the Mersen Surge-Trap® Monobloc STMT23 Series, this slim SPD is ideal for protecting sensitive control, communication and power supply equipment where panel space is limited.

Designed for DIN rail installation, this monobloc surge protection device provides fine protection against voltage spikes caused by lightning activity, switching operations and electrical disturbances. Its slim single-module format allows easy installation in compact control panels, distribution boards and machinery cabinets.

With a maximum discharge current of 6 kA (8/20 μs), a 20 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc) and a 1 phase + neutral SP TT/TNS configuration, the Mersen 83230500 is well suited for sensitive low voltage systems requiring reliable surge protection in a compact footprint.

Key Advantages

  • Compact Type 2+3 surge protection device for sensitive low voltage equipment.
  • 6 kA maximum discharge current for fine surge protection.
  • Slim monobloc design ideal for limited panel space.
  • 1 phase + neutral configuration for TT and TNS systems.
  • DIN rail mounting for straightforward panel installation.
  • Suitable for control systems, power supplies and communication equipment.

Key Features

  • Mersen Surge-Trap® Monobloc STMT23 Series.
  • Model: STMT23-6K20V-SP-S.
  • Type 2+3 / Class II+III surge protection device.
  • 6 kA Imax (8/20 μs).
  • 3 kA nominal discharge current (In).
  • 20 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc L-N).
  • Two-pole, 1Ph+N SP TT/TNS configuration.
  • Slim monobloc one-module format.

Reliable Protection for Sensitive Low Voltage Equipment

Surge protection devices safely divert transient overvoltages away from connected equipment before they can cause electronic damage, insulation failure or unplanned downtime. Compact Type 2+3 devices are particularly useful where fine protection is required close to sensitive equipment.

The Mersen Surge-Trap® Monobloc STMT23 Series is designed for AC and DC voltage applications, making it suitable for control circuits, instrumentation, communication systems and compact electrical panels requiring reliable surge protection.

Typical Applications

  • Control panels and machinery cabinets.
  • Power supply protection.
  • Communication systems.
  • Instrumentation and monitoring equipment.
  • Low voltage AC and DC circuits.
  • Compact distribution boards with limited DIN rail space.
