Why Choose the Mersen 83020120 Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen 83020120 is a compact and reliable Type 2 surge protection device (SPD) designed to safeguard low voltage electrical installations from transient overvoltages caused by switching operations, utility disturbances and indirect lightning strikes. As part of the proven Mersen Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT2 Series, it provides dependable protection for commercial, industrial and automation environments.
The STPT2-40K150V-2P is designed for 120 V AC single phase TNS (1Ph+N) electrical systems and delivers a 40 kA maximum discharge current (Imax) together with a 20 kA nominal discharge current (In). Its 2+0 TNS configuration protects both line and neutral conductors, helping safeguard downstream electrical equipment from damaging voltage surges.
With a 150 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc), compact 2 pole, 2 module pluggable construction and DIN rail mounting, the Mersen 83020120 is ideal for protecting switchboards, distribution panels, industrial control panels and sensitive electronic equipment.
