Why Choose the Mersen 83230136 Surge Protection Device?

The Mersen 83230136 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 LF Series, this leakage current free device provides dependable protection for three-phase plus neutral electrical 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 fast cartridge replacement, supporting straightforward maintenance and reduced downtime.

With a maximum discharge current of 20 kA (8/20 μs), a 275 V AC continuous operating voltage (Uc) and a 4+0 TNS configuration, the Mersen 83230136 is ideal for protecting distribution boards, switchboards, PLC systems, drives and industrial control equipment operating on 230/400 V AC electrical systems.

Key Advantages

  • High performance Type 2+3 surge protection device.
  • Leakage current free technology for enhanced installation performance.
  • 20 kA maximum discharge current for reliable transient overvoltage protection.
  • 4+0 TNS four-pole configuration for three-phase plus neutral installations.
  • Pluggable modular design for fast maintenance and replacement.
  • Helps protect sensitive automation, control and electrical distribution equipment.

Key Features

  • Mersen Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT23 LF Series.
  • Model: STPT23-20K275V-4P-LF.
  • Type 2+3 / Class II+III surge protection device.
  • 20 kA Imax (8/20 μs).
  • 10 kA nominal discharge current (In).
  • 275 V AC continuous operating voltage (Uc).
  • Four-pole, 4+0 TNS configuration.
  • Leakage current free pluggable cartridge format.

Reliable Protection Against Electrical Surges

Surge protection devices safely divert transient overvoltages away from connected equipment before they can cause insulation failure, electronic damage or costly downtime. Installing an SPD helps improve system reliability while extending the operational life of sensitive electrical and automation equipment.

The Mersen Surge-Trap® STPT23 LF Series is designed as a final stage of protection in low voltage installations where upstream Type 2 protection is already installed, making it suitable for use close to the equipment being protected in switchboards, control panels and machinery systems.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial control panels.
  • Electrical distribution boards.
  • Motor control centres.
  • Automation and machinery systems.
  • PLC, drive and instrumentation protection.
  • Three-phase plus neutral TNS electrical installations.
