Why Choose the ABB OVR T2 3L 40-275s P QS Surge Protection Device?

The ABB OVR T2 3L 40-275s P QS, order code 2CTB815704R1800, is a pluggable Type 2 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect three-phase low-voltage electrical installations against transient overvoltages caused by indirect lightning and electrical switching events. Part of the ABB OVR QuickSafe range, it combines high surge-discharge capability with ABB Safety Reserve technology for TN-C electrical distribution systems.

Designed for 230/400 V AC systems, the OVR T2 3L 40-275s P QS provides a 20 kA nominal discharge current (In) and a 40 kA maximum discharge current (Imax) with an 8/20 µs waveform. Its maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc) is 275 V AC, while the voltage protection level (Up) is 1.4 kV, helping limit transient voltages reaching downstream equipment.

The device incorporates ABB's Safety Reserve system, patented QuickSafe technology, an integrated thermal disconnector and an end-of-life indicator. Its pluggable three-pole construction enables straightforward cartridge replacement, while support for backup protection up to 160 A fuse or 125 A MCB makes it suitable for robust commercial, residential and industrial distribution-board applications.

Three-Phase Type 2 Protection with Safety Reserve Technology

Type 2 surge protection devices are designed to discharge transient currents generated by indirect lightning strikes and switching events that create induced or conducted overvoltages on low-voltage power distribution networks. They are commonly installed in main distribution switchboards and subdistribution boards, where their low residual voltage helps protect downstream electrical and electronic equipment.

The ABB OVR T2 3L 40-275s P QS combines a 40 kA maximum 8/20 µs discharge current with ABB's Safety Reserve and QuickSafe technologies. Its integrated status indication and preventive-maintenance functionality help identify when servicing is required, while the pluggable design allows the individual OVR T2 40-275s C QS phase cartridges to be replaced without replacing the complete SPD assembly.

Typical Applications

  • 230/400 V AC TN-C electrical distribution systems.
  • Three-phase low-voltage distribution boards.
  • Main electrical distribution switchboards.
  • Subdistribution boards.
  • Residential and multi-residential electrical installations.
  • Commercial building electrical systems.
  • Industrial low-voltage distribution systems.
  • Protection of sensitive electrical and electronic equipment.
  • Protection against indirect lightning and switching-induced transient overvoltages.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ABB OVR T2 3L 40-275s P QS used for?

The ABB OVR T2 3L 40-275s P QS is a three-pole Type 2 surge protection device designed to protect 230/400 V AC TN-C low-voltage electrical installations against transient overvoltages caused by indirect lightning and electrical switching events.

What are the discharge current ratings of the OVR T2 3L 40-275s P QS?

The device has a 20 kA nominal discharge current (In) and a 40 kA maximum discharge current (Imax), measured using an 8/20 µs waveform. It also has a 2 kA impulse current (Iimp) with a 10/350 µs waveform.

What does Safety Reserve mean on this ABB surge protection device?

ABB's Safety Reserve system provides an additional protection stage designed to support continued surge protection and planned maintenance when the primary protection stage reaches the end of its service life.

Does the OVR T2 3L 40-275s P QS provide remote signalling?

No. The OVR T2 3L 40-275s P QS provides local status indication and preventive-maintenance functionality but does not include the remote signalling contacts fitted to the corresponding P TS QS version.

Can the protection cartridges be replaced?

Yes. The OVR T2 3L 40-275s P QS has a pluggable construction. The specified replacement phase cartridge is the ABB OVR T2 40-275s C QS, order code 2CTB815704R2600.
