Why Choose the Mersen 83230100 Surge Protection Device?

The Mersen 83230100 STPT23-20K150V-1P is a compact Type 2+3 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect low-voltage electrical installations from transient overvoltages caused by switching operations and indirect lightning activity. As part of the Mersen Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT23 Series - 20kA, it provides fine voltage protection for sensitive electrical and electronic equipment.

This pluggable surge protection device is suitable for use as a final stage of protection, particularly where Type 2 surge protection is installed upstream. Its single-pole, one-module construction makes it easy to install in compact distribution boards, control panels and equipment protection enclosures.

With a 20 kA maximum discharge current, 150 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage and L-N protection mode, the Mersen 83230100 is designed for 120 V AC single-phase systems. Its DIN rail mounting format allows straightforward installation in electrical panels close to the equipment being protected.

Key Advantages

  • Compact Type 2+3 surge protection device for low-voltage installations.
  • 20 kA maximum discharge current for effective transient overvoltage protection.
  • Designed for 120 V AC single-phase systems.
  • L-N protection mode for line-to-neutral applications.
  • Pluggable cartridge design allows quick replacement during maintenance.
  • One-module DIN rail format saves space inside electrical panels.

Key Features

  • Mersen Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT23 Series - 20kA.
  • Type 2+3 / Class II+III surge protection.
  • 20 kA Imax (8/20 μs) maximum discharge current.
  • 120 V AC nominal operating voltage.
  • 150 V AC Uc maximum continuous operating voltage.
  • 1Ph electrical system configuration.
  • L-N protection mode.
  • Single-pole, one-module pluggable construction.
  • DIN rail mounting for distribution boards and control panels.
  • Suitable as final stage surge protection close to sensitive equipment.

Fine Surge Protection for Sensitive Equipment

Type 2+3 surge protection devices are used to limit transient overvoltages while providing a fine voltage protection level close to sensitive electrical equipment. They are commonly installed downstream of upstream Type 2 SPDs to improve protection coordination and reduce the risk of damage to connected devices.

The Mersen STPT23-20K150V-1P combines compact dimensions with a pluggable construction, making it a practical choice for contractors, panel builders and maintenance engineers protecting single-phase electrical circuits and sensitive equipment.

Typical Applications

  • Single-phase electrical distribution boards.
  • Control panels and equipment enclosures.
  • Building services and automation equipment.
  • Power supplies and monitoring devices.
  • Commercial electrical installations.
  • Final stage surge protection close to sensitive loads.
