Why Choose the Mersen 83020108 Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen 83020108 is a high performance Type 2 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect low voltage electrical installations from transient overvoltages caused by switching operations and indirect lightning strikes. Part of the trusted Mersen Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT2 Series, it provides dependable protection for commercial, industrial and automation applications.
Designed for 277 V AC single phase L-N systems, the STPT2-40K320V-1P delivers a 40 kA maximum discharge current (Imax) and 20 kA nominal discharge current (In), helping protect sensitive equipment from damaging electrical surges. Its pluggable construction allows the protection module to be replaced quickly, reducing maintenance time and system disruption.
With a 320 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc), compact 1 pole, 1 module format and DIN rail mounting, the Mersen 83020108 is ideal for protecting distribution boards, control panels, automation equipment and low voltage electrical systems.
