Why Choose the Mersen 83230112 Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen 83230112 is a high-performance Type 2+3 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect low-voltage electrical installations from transient overvoltages caused by lightning activity and electrical switching events. Part of the Mersen Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT23 Series, it provides dependable surge protection for industrial, commercial and OEM electrical systems.
This compact 2-pole pluggable SPD is designed for 230/277 V AC single-phase TT systems using a 1+1 configuration. It provides coordinated protection between line-to-neutral (L-N) and neutral-to-earth (N-PE), helping protect connected equipment from damaging voltage spikes.
With a 20 kA maximum discharge current (Imax), 10 kA nominal discharge current (In) and a 320 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc), the Mersen 83230112 is suitable for protecting control panels, PLCs, power supplies, instrumentation, distribution boards and sensitive automation equipment.
