Why Choose the Mersen 44120401 K1-4PG275-M Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen 44120401 K1-4PG275-M is a premium Type 1+2 Surge Protection Device (SPD) designed to protect three-phase low-voltage electrical installations against lightning currents and transient overvoltages. As part of the trusted Mersen Surge-Trap® K - K1 Series, this pluggable SPD combines high surge protection performance with an integrated remote signalling contact, making it ideal for industrial, commercial and critical infrastructure applications.
Designed for installation within the main distribution board, the K1-4PG275-M features a modular pluggable design that allows rapid cartridge replacement during maintenance, helping to minimise downtime. The integrated microswitch provides remote status monitoring, enabling maintenance teams to receive fault notifications without opening the enclosure.
With a 275 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc), a 3+1 protection configuration and a 12.5 kA lightning impulse current (Iimp), the K1-4PG275-M is designed for TT and TNS 230/400 V AC three-phase electrical systems, providing dependable protection against direct lightning strikes and switching surges.
