Why Choose the Mersen K1-2PG275 Type 1+2 Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen K1-2PG275, product code 44120200, is a premium Type 1+2 Surge Protection Device (SPD) designed to protect single-phase TT electrical systems (1Ph+N) against lightning-induced surges and transient overvoltages. As part of the Mersen Surge-Trap® K1 Series, it combines line-to-neutral and neutral-to-earth protection within a compact two-pole, pluggable assembly, making it ideal for installation at the main distribution board.
The K1-2PG275 features a 1+1 protection configuration, a maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc) of 275 V AC, and replaceable protection cartridges for simplified servicing. Engineered for TT earthing systems, it provides dependable protection for sensitive electrical equipment in commercial, industrial and residential installations.
Each protection path offers a 12.5 kA lightning impulse current (Iimp), 50 kA maximum discharge current (Imax), 20 kA nominal discharge current (In), and a voltage protection level (Up ≤1.5 kV), ensuring compliance with IEC 61643-11 and reliable protection against both lightning and switching surges.
Key Advantages
