Why Choose the Mersen 83120160 STPT12-25K275V-4P Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen 83120160 STPT12-25K275V-4P is a high-performance Type 1+2 Surge Protection Device (SPD) designed to protect low-voltage electrical installations against lightning currents and transient overvoltages. Developed for industrial, commercial and infrastructure applications, it provides reliable protection for electrical distribution systems, switchboards and critical equipment exposed to surge events.
Part of the proven Mersen Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT12 Series - 25kA, this DIN rail mounted SPD is engineered as the first level of protection within main distribution boards. Its pluggable design allows rapid module replacement while maintaining high system availability and simplified maintenance.
Designed for 230/400 V AC three-phase plus neutral (3Ph+N) electrical systems using a 4+0 TNS configuration, the STPT12-25K275V-4P delivers a powerful 25 kA Iimp (10/350 μs) lightning impulse current rating per pole together with a 100 kA maximum discharge current, making it ideal for installations requiring robust primary surge protection.
