Why Choose the Lovato SA03NA320R Surge Protection Device?
The Lovato SA03NA320R is a combined Type 1 and Type 2 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect three-phase low-voltage electrical installations against lightning impulse currents and transient overvoltages. Its 3P+N configuration provides coordinated protection for all three phase conductors and the neutral connection.
Featuring replaceable plug-in protection cartridges, the SA03NA320R allows straightforward maintenance without replacing the complete surge protection assembly. An integrated remote signalling contact enables connection to external alarms, building management systems or industrial monitoring equipment for convenient status supervision.
With an IEC impulse discharge current of 12.5 kA per pole using a 10/350 µs waveform, a maximum continuous operating voltage of 320 V AC and a maximum surge current of 60 kA, the SA03NA320R provides dependable protection for industrial distribution boards, commercial switchboards and automation control panels.

Reliable Three-Phase Surge Protection
Surge protection devices divert damaging transient currents away from connected equipment and safely discharge them towards earth. This helps reduce the risk of insulation failure, electronic component damage, production downtime and premature equipment replacement.
By combining Type 1 and Type 2 protection, the Lovato SA03NA320R can manage partial lightning currents while also limiting induced lightning surges and switching overvoltages. Its 3P+N arrangement provides coordinated protection for three-phase installations, while the remote contact allows the device condition to be monitored without direct visual inspection.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase main distribution boards.
- Industrial switchboards and control panels.
- Commercial electrical installations.
- Building management and automation systems.
- Machinery control cabinets.
- Installations with external lightning protection systems.
- Protection of PLCs, drives and sensitive electronic equipment.
