Why Choose the Mersen 83020123 Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen 83020123 is a high performance Type 2 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect low voltage electrical installations from transient overvoltages caused by switching operations, utility disturbances and indirect lightning strikes. Part of the trusted Mersen Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT2 Series, it provides dependable protection for commercial, industrial and automation applications.
The STPT2-40K275V-2PM is designed for 230 V AC single phase TNS (1Ph+N) electrical systems and provides a 40 kA maximum discharge current (Imax) together with a 20 kA nominal discharge current (In). Its 2+0 TNS configuration protects both line and neutral conductors, while the integrated remote indication contact enables continuous monitoring of SPD status from a control system or alarm circuit.
With a 275 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc), compact 2 pole, 2 module pluggable construction and DIN rail mounting, the Mersen 83020123 is ideal for protecting switchboards, distribution panels, industrial control panels and sensitive electronic equipment.
