Why Choose the Mersen 44020301 K2-3P275-M Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen 44020301, also known as the K2-3P275-M, is a high-performance Type 2 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect three-phase low-voltage electrical installations from transient overvoltages. Part of the trusted Mersen Surge-Trap K2 series, it provides reliable protection for 230/400 V TN-C electrical systems while incorporating an integrated remote signalling contact for continuous monitoring of the device status.
Its pluggable design enables the protection modules to be replaced quickly without removing the complete DIN-rail base, minimising maintenance time and reducing downtime. A visual status indicator provides instant local inspection, while the integrated microswitch allows remote monitoring through PLCs, SCADA systems or building management systems.
Featuring a 275 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage, 20 kA nominal discharge current and 50 kA maximum discharge current, the Mersen 44020301 offers dependable protection against lightning-induced surges and switching transients in commercial, industrial and infrastructure applications.

Reliable Three-Phase Surge Protection with Remote Monitoring
Transient overvoltages caused by lightning activity, utility switching and inductive loads can damage PLCs, motor drives, switchgear, communication equipment and sensitive electronics. Installing a dedicated Type 2 SPD significantly reduces the risk of equipment failure and costly downtime.
The Mersen K2-3P275-M combines high surge current capability with integrated remote signalling, allowing maintenance personnel to monitor protection status remotely while benefiting from rapid replacement of the pluggable protection modules whenever servicing is required.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase TN-C distribution boards.
- Industrial switchgear and motor control centres.
- Commercial electrical installations.
- PLC and automation systems.
- Building management and SCADA systems.
- Protection of drives, power supplies and sensitive electronic equipment.
