Why Choose the Mersen STPT2-40K60V-2P Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen STPT2-40K60V-2P is a high-performance Type 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 STPT2 Series, it provides reliable surge protection for industrial, commercial and infrastructure electrical systems.
This surge protection device features a 40 kA maximum discharge current (Imax), 60 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage and a compact pluggable design for straightforward installation and maintenance. Its modular construction supports quick replacement of protection cartridges without disturbing the complete installation.
Designed for 48 V AC nominal systems with a 2+0 TNS configuration, the STPT2-40K60V-2P is suitable for protecting control circuits, signalling equipment, automation panels, telecommunications systems and low-voltage electrical infrastructure.
