The Lovato SG2C4PA275 is a compact Type 2 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect low-voltage AC electrical installations against transient overvoltages caused by indirect lightning effects and electrical switching events. Part of the Lovato SG2C surge protection range, this 4-pole device combines high surge-current capability with replaceable plug-in cartridges for straightforward maintenance.
The SG2C4PA275 provides a rated discharge current In of 20 kA per pole and a maximum discharge current Imax of 40 kA, based on the standard 8/20 µs surge-current waveform. Its maximum continuous operating voltage Uc is 275 V AC, with a voltage protection level Up below 1.5 kV.
Designed for 230/400 V AC TT and TN-S systems, the SG2C4PA275 features a compact two-module DIN rail format and frontal operating/end-of-life indication. This version is supplied without a remote relay contact, making it an efficient choice where local visual status indication is sufficient.
Type 2 surge protection devices are installed within low-voltage distribution systems to limit transient overvoltages generated by indirect lightning effects and electrical switching operations. The Lovato SG2C4PA275 diverts damaging surge energy away from downstream equipment, helping protect electrical controls, electronic devices and other sensitive loads.
The SG2C series combines high discharge capability with a compact modular design. Replaceable plug-in cartridges simplify servicing, while frontal condition indication allows the protection status to be checked quickly during routine electrical maintenance.
