Why Choose the Lovato SA01NA320R Surge Protection Device?
The Lovato SA01NA320R is a combined Type 1 and Type 2 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect low-voltage electrical installations against lightning impulse currents and transient overvoltages. Its 1P+N configuration makes it suitable for single-phase systems where both the line and neutral require coordinated surge protection.
Featuring replaceable plug-in protection cartridges, the SA01NA320R supports straightforward maintenance without replacing the complete device. It provides an impulse discharge current of 12.5 kA per pole with a 10/350 µs waveform, together with a nominal discharge current of 25 kA using an 8/20 µs waveform.
The device has a maximum continuous operating voltage of 320 V AC and includes a remote signalling contact for integration with alarms, building-management systems or remote monitoring equipment. Its DIN rail format makes it suitable for installation within distribution boards, switchboards and industrial control panels.

Reliable Protection Against Lightning and Switching Surges
Surge protection devices divert damaging transient currents away from sensitive electrical equipment and safely discharge them towards earth. This helps reduce the risk of insulation failure, electronic-component damage, unplanned downtime and premature equipment replacement.
By combining Type 1 and Type 2 protection, the Lovato SA01NA320R can handle partial lightning currents entering an installation while also limiting lower-energy switching and induced surges. Its remote contact allows the device status to be monitored without requiring direct visual inspection of the distribution board.
Typical Applications
- Single-phase electrical distribution boards.
- Commercial and industrial switchboards.
- Building-services electrical systems.
- Machinery and automation control panels.
- Installations with external lightning-protection systems.
