Why Choose the Lovato SG2C2PA320 Type 2 Surge Protection Device?

The Lovato SG2C2PA320 is a compact Type 2 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect AC power lines and connected electrical equipment against transient overvoltages. As part of the Lovato SG2 series, it features a plug-in cartridge design and provides coordinated surge protection for low-voltage electrical distribution systems.

Featuring a 2-pole configuration, 230 V AC rated voltage and 5 kA rated discharge current In (8/20 µs) per pole, the SG2C2PA320 provides dependable protection against transient surges associated with switching events and indirect lightning effects. Its maximum discharge current Imax is 15 kA, while the voltage protection level Up is less than 1.5 kV.

The SG2C2PA320 has a maximum continuous operating voltage Uc of 320 V AC and occupies only 1 DIN module. A frontal operating/end-of-life indicator simplifies visual status checking, while the replaceable plug-in cartridge allows convenient maintenance without replacing the complete base assembly.

Key Advantages

  • Compact Type 2 surge protection for AC power lines.
  • 5 kA rated discharge current In (8/20 µs) per pole.
  • 15 kA maximum discharge current Imax for transient surge protection.
  • 2-pole configuration for compatible low-voltage AC systems.
  • Plug-in cartridge construction simplifies inspection and replacement.
  • Frontal operating/end-of-life status indication.
  • Space-saving 1 DIN module format for distribution boards and control panels.

Key Features

  • Lovato SG2 series surge protection device.
  • Type 2 / Class II SPD.
  • 2-pole configuration.
  • 230 V AC rated voltage.
  • 320 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage Uc.
  • 5 kA rated discharge current In (8/20 µs).
  • 15 kA maximum discharge current Imax (8/20 µs).
  • <1.5 kV voltage protection level Up.
  • <25 ns response time.
  • Integrated thermal isolation protection.
  • Replaceable plug-in cartridge.
  • DIN rail mounting with frontal status indication.

Reliable Type 2 Protection for AC Power Systems

Type 2 surge protection devices such as the Lovato SG2C2PA320 are designed to limit transient overvoltages in low-voltage AC electrical systems. When a surge occurs, the SPD provides a controlled path for surge current, helping limit the voltage reaching downstream equipment and reducing the risk of damage to sensitive electrical and electronic components.

The SG2C2PA320 combines a 5 kA nominal discharge current with a 15 kA maximum discharge capability and a voltage protection level below 1.5 kV. Its replaceable cartridge, thermal protection and visual status indication make it a practical solution for coordinated surge protection in industrial, commercial and building electrical distribution systems.

Typical Applications

  • Low-voltage AC electrical distribution boards.
  • Industrial machinery and automation control panels.
  • Commercial electrical installations.
  • Building electrical distribution systems.
  • Protection of sensitive electronic and control equipment.
  • Secondary surge protection within coordinated SPD systems.
