Why Choose the ABB OVR T2-T3 3N 20-275 P TS QS Surge Protection Device?

The ABB OVR T2-T3 3N 20-275 P TS QS, order code 2CTB803973R1600, is a pluggable Type 2+3 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect low-voltage electrical installations and sensitive electronic equipment against transient overvoltages caused by indirect lightning and electrical switching events. As part of the ABB OVR QuickSafe surge protection range, it combines Type 2 surge-current handling with the low residual voltage characteristics associated with Type 3 protection.

Designed for 230/400 V AC three-phase plus neutral TT and TN-S networks, this SPD uses a 3+1 protection configuration and provides a maximum discharge current (Imax) of 20 kA, a nominal discharge current (In) of 5 kA and an impulse current (Iimp) of 2 kA. Its overall voltage protection level of 1.5 kV helps limit transient voltage reaching downstream electrical and electronic equipment.

The OVR T2-T3 3N 20-275 P TS QS has a 275 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage and features pluggable protection elements, optical status indication and integrated remote signalling auxiliary contacts. Its compact four-module DIN rail format makes it suitable for residential, commercial and industrial distribution boards where effective surge protection and remote status monitoring are required.

Key Advantages

  • Combined Type 2+3 surge protection for three-phase plus neutral electrical installations.
  • 20 kA maximum discharge current (Imax) with an 8/20 µs waveform.
  • 5 kA nominal discharge current (In) with an 8/20 µs waveform.
  • 2 kA impulse current (Iimp) with a 10/350 µs waveform.
  • 1.5 kV overall voltage protection level (Up) helps protect sensitive downstream equipment.
  • 275 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage for 230/400 V AC systems.
  • Integrated remote signalling auxiliary contacts for monitoring SPD status.
  • Pluggable QuickSafe construction simplifies inspection, maintenance and replacement.
  • Suitable for TT and TN-S distribution networks.

  • IP20 protection rating.
  • Compliant with IEC 61643-11 / EN 61643-11.

Reliable Type 2+3 Protection for Sensitive Equipment

Type 2+3 surge protection devices combine the ability to discharge surge currents associated with indirect lightning strikes with a low residual voltage suitable for protecting sensitive electronic equipment. Type 2 performance addresses surge currents characterised by an 8/20 µs waveform, while Type 3 characteristics provide additional protection against transient overvoltages close to sensitive downstream equipment.

The ABB OVR T2-T3 3N 20-275 P TS QS combines these protection characteristics with pluggable QuickSafe construction, optical status indication and remote signalling. It can be installed in sub-distribution boards or close to sensitive equipment, making it suitable for installations where effective surge protection, straightforward maintenance and remote monitoring are required.

Typical Applications

  • 230/400 V three-phase plus neutral electrical installations.
  • TT and TN-S low-voltage distribution networks.
  • Residential electrical distribution systems.
  • Commercial building electrical installations.
  • Industrial control and distribution panels.
  • Sub-distribution and intermediate distribution boards.
  • Protection of sensitive electrical and electronic equipment.
  • Protection against indirect lightning-induced and electrical switching surges.
