Why Choose the ABB OVR T2-T3 N3 20-275 P QS Surge Protective Device?
The ABB OVR T2-T3 N3 20-275 P QS 2CTB803873R1200 is a combined Type 2 and Type 3 surge protective device (SPD) designed for three-phase low-voltage electrical installations. Part of ABB's OVR QuickSafe range, its 3P+N configuration provides coordinated surge protection for TT and TN-S networks, helping protect distribution systems and sensitive downstream equipment against transient overvoltages.
Designed for 230/400 V AC systems, the OVR T2-T3 N3 20-275 P QS has a maximum continuous operating voltage Uc of 275 V AC. It provides a maximum discharge current Imax of 20 kA and a nominal discharge current In of 5 kA using an 8/20 µs waveform, together with a combination-wave open-circuit voltage Uoc of 6 kV.
ABB's QuickSafe (QS) technology combines pluggable construction with replaceable phase and neutral cartridges for straightforward servicing. The device provides an L-N voltage protection level Up of 0.9 kV and an N-PE protection level of 1.4 kV, while mechanical status indication allows the condition of each protection element to be checked locally.
Key Advantages
Combined Type 2 + Type 3 protection for distribution systems and sensitive downstream equipment.
3P+N configuration designed for three-phase TT and TN-S electrical networks.
20 kA maximum discharge current (Imax) for transient surge-current handling.
0.9 kV L-N voltage protection level helps limit transient voltage reaching connected equipment.
QuickSafe pluggable construction enables individual protection cartridges to be replaced.
Mechanical status indicators provide straightforward local inspection of SPD condition.
Key Features
ABB OVR T2-T3 QuickSafe surge protection range.
Combined Type 2 + Type 3 / Class II + III SPD.
Four protected poles (3P+N).
230/400 V AC nominal system voltage.
275 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage Uc.
20 kA maximum discharge current Imax.
5 kA nominal discharge current In.
6 kV combination-wave open-circuit voltage Uoc.
QuickSafe (QS) pluggable technology with replaceable phase and neutral cartridges.
Suitable for TT and TN-S low-voltage distribution systems.
Combined Type 2 and Type 3 Protection for Three-Phase Networks
Combined Type 2 and Type 3 SPDs provide distribution-level surge-current handling together with enhanced voltage limitation for sensitive downstream equipment. In three-phase TT and TN-S installations, the 3P+N configuration provides coordinated protection between the phase conductors, neutral and protective earth, helping reduce potentially damaging transient voltages throughout the installation.
The ABB OVR T2-T3 N3 20-275 P QS combines 20 kA Imax, 5 kA In and a 0.9 kV L-N Up with ABB QuickSafe technology. Replaceable phase and neutral cartridges, mechanical status indication and a compact DIN-rail format support efficient inspection and maintenance throughout the SPD's service life.
