Why Choose the Mersen 83230104 Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen 83230104 is a compact and dependable Type 2+3 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect low-voltage electrical installations from transient overvoltages. Part of the Mersen Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT23 Series, it provides fine surge protection for industrial, commercial and OEM power distribution systems.
This pluggable SPD is designed for line-to-neutral (L-N) protection in AC installations. Its modular construction allows fast replacement of the surge protection cartridge, helping simplify maintenance while reducing downtime in control panels and electrical distribution boards.
With a 20 kA maximum discharge current, 10 kA nominal discharge current and 440 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage, the Mersen 83230104 is suitable for protecting equipment connected to 400 V AC systems, including automation equipment, drives, PLCs, power supplies and instrumentation.
Key Advantages
- Compact Type 2+3 surge protection device for low-voltage installations.
- 20 kA Imax discharge capacity for reliable transient overvoltage protection.
- 440 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage for higher voltage systems.
- Pluggable 1-module format supports quick replacement and maintenance.
- Designed for 400 V AC line-to-neutral applications.

Surge protection devices help prevent damaging transient voltages from reaching sensitive equipment. By diverting surge energy away from connected loads, SPDs reduce the risk of failure, data loss, nuisance faults and unplanned downtime.
The Mersen 83230104 is designed for panel-mounted electrical protection where reliable surge suppression is required close to the equipment being protected. Its pluggable design makes it suitable for maintenance-friendly installations in industrial and commercial environments.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panels.
- Commercial electrical distribution boards.
- PLC and automation systems.
- Variable speed drives and motor control equipment.
- Power supplies and instrumentation circuits.
- OEM machinery and panel building applications.
