Why Choose the Mersen 83120105 Surge Protection Device?

The Mersen 83120105 STPT12-12K320V-1PM is a robust Type 1+2 surge protection device (SPD) engineered to protect low-voltage electrical installations against lightning currents and transient overvoltages. As part of the proven Mersen Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT12 Series, it is designed for installation at the main distribution board where dependable surge protection is essential.

Combining lightning current protection and transient voltage suppression within a compact pluggable module, the STPT12-12K320V-1PM provides excellent protection for industrial, commercial and infrastructure electrical systems. The pluggable cartridge allows rapid replacement, while integrated visual and remote status indication simplifies maintenance and monitoring.

With a 12.5 kA lightning impulse current (10/350 μs), 320 V maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc) and 277 V nominal operating voltage (Un), this single-pole SPD is ideal for protecting equipment connected to 277 V AC systems.
