Why Choose the Lovato SA1B1NA320R Surge Protection Device?
The Lovato SA1B1NA320R is a high-performance Type 1 and Type 2 monoblock surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect single-phase low-voltage electrical installations against lightning impulse currents, switching surges and transient overvoltages. Its 1P+N configuration provides coordinated protection between the line, neutral and protective earth conductors.
With an IEC impulse discharge current of 25 kA per pole using a 10/350 µs waveform, the SA1B1NA320R is suitable for installations exposed to severe surge conditions. Its monoblock construction combines the required protection components within a robust four-module assembly for straightforward installation in electrical distribution boards.
The device supports a maximum continuous operating voltage of 320 V AC, a nominal discharge current of 25 kA and a maximum discharge current of 100 kA. An integrated remote signalling contact allows its operating condition to be monitored through an alarm, building management system or industrial control system.

High-Capacity Protection Against Lightning and Switching Surges
Surge protection devices divert damaging transient currents away from connected equipment and safely discharge them towards earth. This helps protect electrical insulation, automation equipment and sensitive electronics from premature failure while reducing the risk of costly system downtime.
The Lovato SA1B1NA320R combines Type 1 and Type 2 protection within a durable monoblock assembly. Its high 25 kA impulse current rating enables it to handle partial lightning currents, while its 100 kA maximum discharge capacity provides robust protection against severe transient overvoltages.
Typical Applications
- Single-phase main electrical distribution boards.
- Commercial and industrial switchboards.
- TT and TN-S electrical installations.
- Buildings equipped with external lightning protection systems.
- Industrial machinery and automation panels.
- Building management and monitoring systems.
- Protection of PLCs, drives and sensitive electronic equipment.
