Why Choose the Mersen 44120408 K1-4PG320 Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen 44120408 K1-4PG320 is a premium Type 1+2 Surge Protection Device (SPD) developed to safeguard three-phase low-voltage electrical installations from lightning currents and transient overvoltages. As part of the proven Mersen Surge-Trap® K - K1 Series, this pluggable SPD provides reliable first-stage protection for commercial, industrial and infrastructure applications requiring dependable power system protection.
Designed for installation within the main distribution board, the K1-4PG320 combines high surge current capability with a compact DIN rail mounted design. Its modular pluggable construction enables rapid replacement of protection cartridges during maintenance, helping minimise downtime whilst maintaining continuous protection of valuable electrical equipment.
Featuring a 320 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc), a 3+1 protection configuration and a 12.5 kA lightning impulse current (Iimp), the K1-4PG320 is specifically designed for TT and TNS 277/480 V AC three-phase electrical systems, providing effective protection against direct lightning currents and switching surges.
