Why Choose the ABB OVR T1-T2 12.5-275s P QS Surge Protective Device?
The ABB OVR T1-T2 12.5-275s P QS is a high-performance combined Type 1+2 surge protective device (SPD) designed to protect low-voltage electrical installations against lightning currents and transient overvoltages. As part of the advanced ABB OVR QuickSafe surge protection range, it combines Type 1 lightning current protection and Type 2 surge protection in a compact single-pole device.
Designed for use in suitable TT, TN-S and TN-C distribution systems, the OVR T1-T2 12.5-275s P QS uses spark-gap and varistor technology with a replaceable protection module and ABB QuickSafe end-of-life indication. Its safety reserve and pluggable construction help simplify maintenance while providing dependable protection for industrial, commercial and building electrical installations.
With an impulse current (Iimp) of 12.5 kA using a 10/350 µs waveform, maximum discharge current (Imax) of 80 kA using an 8/20 µs waveform and 275 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage, the OVR T1-T2 12.5-275s P QS provides robust protection for 230 V AC systems. The device is supplied under ABB order code 2CTB815710R1200.

Combined Lightning and Surge Protection for Electrical Installations
Combined Type 1+2 surge protective devices provide protection against both high-energy lightning currents and transient overvoltages. Type 1 capability enables the SPD to discharge lightning impulse currents characterised by a 10/350 µs waveform, while Type 2 performance handles surge currents characterised by an 8/20 µs waveform, helping protect downstream electrical and electronic equipment.
The ABB OVR T1-T2 QuickSafe range is designed for coordinated protection of low-voltage installations. The OVR T1-T2 12.5-275s P QS combines high discharge capability, replaceable protection technology, a safety reserve and QuickSafe end-of-life indication in a compact DIN-rail device suitable for use in appropriate TT, TN-S and TN-C systems.
