Why Choose the Lovato SA0B3NA320R Type 1+2 Surge Protection Device?

The Lovato SA0B3NA320R is a high-performance Type 1+2 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect three-phase AC electrical installations against transient overvoltages caused by direct and indirect lightning events and induced surges. As part of the Lovato Electric SA0B monoblock series, it combines Type 1 and Type 2 surge protection in a single compact device for installation in low-voltage distribution systems.

Designed for 3P+N electrical systems, the SA0B3NA320R provides an IEC impulse current Iimp of 12.5 kA per pole and a maximum discharge current Imax of 50 kA L-N. Its monoblock construction makes it particularly suitable for primary and intermediate distribution boards where robust surge protection and efficient use of panel space are important.

The SA0B3NA320R is suitable for 230/400 V AC three-phase systems and has a maximum continuous operating voltage Uc of 320 V AC. It also incorporates frontal operating/end-of-life indication and a remote changeover contact, allowing the SPD status to be monitored locally or remotely as part of an electrical control or building management system.

Key Advantages

  • Combined Type 1 and Type 2 surge protection in a monoblock device.
  • 3P+N configuration for three-phase electrical distribution systems with neutral.
  • 12.5 kA Iimp impulse current per pole for protection against high-energy lightning surges.
  • 50 kA maximum discharge current Imax on L-N paths.
  • Low <1.5 kV voltage protection level Up.
  • Integrated remote status contact and frontal operating/end-of-life indication.

Key Features

  • Lovato Electric SA0B monoblock series.
  • Type 1+2 surge protection device.
  • 3P+N pole configuration.
  • 230/400 V AC system application.
  • 320 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage Uc.
  • 12.5 kA Iimp (10/350 µs) impulse current.
  • 20 kA rated discharge current In (8/20 µs) L-N.
  • 50 kA maximum discharge current Imax (8/20 µs) L-N.
  • Integrated thermal protection.
  • Frontal status indication with remote changeover contact.
  • Compact four-module DIN rail mounting.

Reliable Protection Against Lightning and Transient Overvoltages

Surge protection devices such as the Lovato SA0B3NA320R divert damaging transient currents away from electrical equipment, helping limit the voltage reaching connected installations. Its combined Type 1+2 design provides protection against high-energy lightning currents as well as transient overvoltages caused by indirect lightning and switching events.

The SA0B monoblock series is designed for installations where coordinated surge protection is required within a compact electrical distribution system. With high impulse and discharge current capability, thermal protection and remote status signalling, the SA0B3NA320R provides dependable protection from the main distribution board through to downstream electrical equipment.

Typical Applications

  • Main three-phase electrical distribution boards.
  • Intermediate distribution panels.
  • Commercial and industrial electrical installations.
  • Buildings equipped with external lightning protection systems.
  • Installations exposed to direct or indirect lightning surges.
  • EV charging infrastructure and three-phase power distribution systems.
