Why Choose the Mersen 44020000 K2-N Neutral Surge Protection Cartridge?
The Mersen 44020000, also known as the K2-N, is a pluggable neutral surge protection cartridge for compatible devices within the Mersen Surge-Trap® K2 Series. Designed for neutral-to-earth protection, it provides a practical replacement for a worn or end-of-life neutral module without requiring the complete surge protection assembly to be replaced.
This single-pole Type 2 cartridge is intended for the neutral protection position in compatible K2 devices using a 3+1 or 1+1 configuration. It is commonly paired with Mersen K2 line cartridges in surge protection assemblies for TT and suitable TN electrical installations.
With a maximum discharge current of 50 kA, the K2-N helps divert damaging transient surge energy from neutral to protective earth. Its pluggable construction supports quick maintenance, while the visual condition indicator allows engineers to identify when replacement is required.

Efficient Maintenance of K2 Surge Protection Assemblies
Surge protection cartridges gradually absorb energy from transient overvoltages and may eventually reach the end of their service life. The Mersen K2-N cartridge allows the neutral protection module to be replaced independently while retaining the compatible DIN rail base and remaining cartridges.
This modular approach can reduce maintenance time, minimise material waste and restore the intended protection level without rewiring the complete surge protection device. The replacement cartridge should always be matched to a compatible Mersen K2 assembly and installed by a suitably qualified person.
