Why Choose the Mersen 83230129 Surge Protection Device?

The Mersen 83230129 is a high performance Type 2+3 Surge Protection Device (SPD) designed to protect low voltage electrical installations against transient overvoltages. Part of the Mersen Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT23 Series, this device provides dependable protection for three-phase plus neutral systems in commercial, industrial and automation environments.

Engineered for DIN rail installation, this pluggable SPD helps safeguard sensitive electrical equipment from voltage spikes caused by lightning activity, switching operations and network disturbances. Its compact modular format allows quick replacement, while the integrated remote indication contact enables simple monitoring of device status.

With a maximum discharge current of 20 kA (8/20 μs), a 320 V AC continuous operating voltage (Uc) and a 3+1 TT configuration, the Mersen 83230129 is ideal for protecting switchboards, machinery panels, PLC systems, drives and industrial control equipment operating on 230/400 V AC or 277/480 V AC electrical systems.

Key Advantages

  • High performance Type 2+3 surge protection device.
  • 20 kA maximum discharge current for reliable transient overvoltage protection.
  • 320 V AC continuous operating voltage for higher voltage low voltage systems.
  • 3+1 TT four-pole configuration for three-phase plus neutral installations.
  • Remote indication contact for easy status monitoring.
  • Pluggable modular design for fast maintenance and replacement.

Key Features

  • Mersen Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT23 Series.
  • Model: STPT23-20K320V-4PGM.
  • Type 2+3 / Class II+III surge protection device.
  • 20 kA Imax (8/20 μs).
  • 10 kA nominal discharge current (In).
  • 320 V AC continuous operating voltage (Uc).
  • Four-pole, 3+1 TT configuration.
  • Remote indication with pluggable cartridge format.

Reliable Protection Against Electrical Surges

Surge protection devices help divert damaging transient voltages away from connected equipment before they can cause insulation breakdown, electronic failure or costly downtime. Installing an SPD improves system resilience and helps protect valuable automation and electrical infrastructure.

The Mersen Surge-Trap® STPT23 range is designed for low voltage installations requiring compact and reliable final stage surge protection, making it suitable for use in distribution boards, switchboards, control panels and machinery systems.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial control panels.
  • Electrical distribution boards.
  • Automation and machinery systems.
  • Commercial building services.
  • PLC, drive and instrumentation protection.
  • Three-phase plus neutral TT electrical installations.
