Why Choose the Mersen 83120107 Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen 83120107 STPT12-12K440V-1PM is a compact and dependable Type 1+2 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect low-voltage electrical installations against lightning currents and transient overvoltages. Part of the Mersen Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT12 Series, it is suitable for incoming supply panels, main distribution boards and installations requiring a first level of surge protection.
This surge protection device combines high lightning current discharge capability with effective transient voltage suppression in a slim, single-pole pluggable format. Its replaceable cartridge design supports fast maintenance, while integrated visual and remote indication allows convenient monitoring of device status.
With a 12.5 kA lightning impulse current (10/350 μs), 440 V maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc) and 400 V nominal operating voltage (Un), the 83120107 provides reliable L-N protection for industrial, commercial and infrastructure electrical systems.
