Why Choose the Mersen 83120124 Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen 83120124 STPT12-12K440V-2P is a high-performance Type 1+2 Surge Protection Device (SPD) designed to protect low voltage electrical installations against transient overvoltages caused by lightning activity and electrical switching events. As part of the Mersen Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT12 Series, it provides dependable first-stage surge protection for industrial, commercial and infrastructure power distribution systems.
This compact pluggable SPD combines Class I and Class II surge protection in one DIN rail mounted device, making it suitable for incoming power supply panels and installations exposed to atmospheric surges. Its replaceable cartridge format and clear status indication help simplify inspection, maintenance and replacement when required.
With a 12.5 kA lightning impulse current rating, 440 V maximum continuous operating voltage and 2-pole 2+0 IT/TNS configuration, the Mersen 83120124 is ideal for protecting electrical equipment, distribution boards, control panels and sensitive industrial systems from damaging voltage surges.

Reliable Protection Against Electrical Surges
Surge protection devices help protect electrical installations by safely diverting transient overvoltages before they reach connected equipment. This reduces the risk of damage to control systems, switchgear, drives, automation hardware and other sensitive electrical components.
The Mersen STPT12 range is designed for use as the first level of surge protection in installations where lightning exposure and switching surges may occur. Its Type 1+2 classification makes it suitable for incoming distribution panels and applications requiring coordinated surge protection.
Typical Applications
- Main low voltage distribution boards.
- Incoming power supply panels.
- Industrial automation systems.
- Commercial building electrical installations.
- Control panels and switchboards.
- Infrastructure, utilities and exposed electrical networks.
