Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 3+1 pole configuration mean?
The 3+1 configuration refers to three phase conductors plus one neutral conductor, providing surge protection across all four poles for comprehensive system coverage.
Can this device be used in TN-C systems?
This device is specified for TT and TNS systems. It is not recommended for TN-C systems due to different earthing arrangements.
How does the remote indication work?
The remote indication uses a microswitch that changes state when the SPD condition changes, allowing connection to a remote monitoring system for status alerts.
Is the device RoHS compliant?
Yes, the STPT12-12K275V-4PGM is fully RoHS compliant, ensuring it meets environmental and safety standards.

Protection system of coordinated stages: Type 1, 2 and 3 SPDs
The SPDs of a surge protection system must be able to withstand the discharged current and provide a Ures level (residua l voltage) lower than the Ue peak voltage that the equipment can withstand. Most of the times it is not possible to achieve this with just one SPD, especially because the intensity of the surge is not known, and because of the induction of overvoltages when conductors exceed 10m.
The optimal system of protection is the 3-STEP approach, in which successive stages are combined in the performance of high discharge capacity devices and devices with an optimal voltage protection level (low). This is addressed by the definition of "Types" or "Classes" of SPDs according to the type of transient pulses to which each protected zone in the installation is subject to.
