Why Choose the Mersen K1-1P275 Type 1+2 Surge Protection Device?

The Mersen K1-1P275, product code 44120102, is a premium Type 1+2 Surge Protection Device (SPD) designed to protect low-voltage electrical installations against transient overvoltages caused by lightning strikes and switching events. Suitable as the first level of protection within a main distribution board, it combines both Type 1 and Type 2 surge protection in a compact, pluggable module.

Designed for single-phase AC systems, the K1-1P275 features a 1+0 protection configuration, a continuous operating voltage (Uc) of 275 V AC, and a replaceable cartridge design for simplified maintenance. Its robust construction and international certifications make it ideal for industrial, commercial and residential installations requiring dependable surge protection.

With an Iimp rating of 12.5 kA (10/350 μs), Imax of 50 kA (8/20 μs), and a low voltage protection level (Up ≤1.5 kV), the Mersen K1-1P275 provides reliable protection for sensitive electrical equipment while ensuring compliance with modern installation standards.

Key Advantages

  • Combined Type 1 + Type 2 surge protection.
  • Designed for 230 V single-phase AC systems.
  • Pluggable cartridge allows fast replacement during maintenance.
  • High 12.5 kA lightning impulse current (Iimp).
  • 50 kA maximum discharge current (Imax).
  • Compact DIN rail mounting for modern distribution boards.

Reliable Protection Against Transient Overvoltages

Surge protection devices safeguard electrical installations by diverting damaging transient overvoltages safely to earth before they reach connected equipment. Type 1+2 SPDs are specifically designed to protect against both direct lightning currents and switching surges, making them suitable for installation at the origin of a building's electrical installation.

The Mersen Surge-Trap® K1 Series provides dependable protection for commercial, industrial and residential installations. Its pluggable construction simplifies maintenance, while the high surge capacity helps minimise equipment damage and system downtime following transient overvoltage events.

Typical Applications

  • Main low-voltage distribution boards.
  • Commercial buildings.
  • Industrial facilities.
  • Outdoor LED lighting installations.
  • Photovoltaic systems.
  • Battery energy storage systems (BESS).
  • EV charging infrastructure.
  • Telecommunications equipment.
  • Water treatment plants.
