Lovato SA03PA320R combined Type 1 and Type 2 three-pole surge protection device with 12.5kA impulse current per pole, replaceable plug-in cartridges and remote signalling contact.
£373.79
The Lovato SA03PA320R 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, switching surges and transient overvoltages. Its three-pole configuration provides coordinated surge protection across all three phase conductors in industrial and commercial AC power systems.
Featuring replaceable plug-in protection cartridges, the SA03PA320R 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 condition monitoring.
With an IEC impulse discharge current of 12.5 kA per pole using a 10/350 µs waveform, a nominal discharge current of 20 kA per pole and a maximum discharge current of 40 kA per pole, the SA03PA320R provides dependable protection for industrial distribution boards, commercial switchboards and automation control panels.
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 SA03PA320R can manage partial lightning currents while also limiting induced lightning surges and switching overvoltages. Its three-pole construction provides coordinated protection for three-phase power systems, while the remote contact enables the device condition to be monitored without direct visual inspection.
