Why Choose the ABB OVR T1-T2 1L 25-255 P TS Surge Protective Device?
The ABB OVR T1-T2 1L 25-255 P TS is a combined Type 1 + Type 2 surge protective device (SPD) designed to protect low-voltage electrical installations against high-energy lightning currents and transient overvoltages. Identified by ABB order code 2CTB813251R2300, this single-pole SPD is suitable for TT, TN-S and TN-C distribution systems and is intended for installation in main AC distribution switchboards and sub-distribution boards.
Using spark-gap technology, the OVR T1-T2 1L 25-255 P TS provides a 25 kA lightning impulse current (Iimp) using the 10/350 µs waveform, together with a 25 kA nominal discharge current (In) and 60 kA maximum discharge current (Imax) using the 8/20 µs waveform. Its voltage protection level of ≤1.5 kV helps limit transient voltage stress on downstream equipment.
The device is designed for 230/400 V AC networks and has a 264 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc). Its pluggable construction enables straightforward cartridge replacement, while the integrated TS 1NO + 1NC remote signalling contact allows the SPD condition to be monitored from an external control, alarm or building-management system.

Reliable Type 1 and Type 2 Protection with Remote Status Monitoring
Combined Type 1 and Type 2 SPDs provide coordinated protection against both high-energy lightning-current impulses and transient overvoltages. The ABB OVR T1-T2 1L 25-255 P TS handles a 25 kA 10/350 µs lightning impulse while also providing 8/20 µs Type 2 surge protection, making it suitable for installation at main and sub-distribution levels where substantial surge-current capability is required.
Its spark-gap technology combines high lightning-current capability with a ≤1.5 kV protection level. The pluggable cartridge facilitates maintenance, while the visual end-of-life indicator and 1NO + 1NC TS contact provide both local and remote indication of protection status, supporting planned maintenance of electrical distribution systems.
