Mersen Surge Protector Type 2+3 SPD 2 Pole 230/277 Volt 10KA TT
MPN: 83230112
Alt. SKU: STPT23-20K320V-2PG
Why Choose the STPT23-20K320V-2PG Surge Protection Device?
The STPT23-20K320V-2PG offers reliable Type 2+3 surge protection, designed to safeguard single-phase TT networks operating at 230/277V. With a high discharge capacity of 20kA (Imax, 8/20 μs), it effectively shields sensitive equipment from transient overvoltages and lightning-induced surges.
This compact, pluggable 2-pole unit simplifies installation and maintenance, occupying only two DIN modules. It is the ideal solution for ensuring the uninterrupted, long-term protection of critical loads in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments.
Product Code: 83230112
Key Benefits

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.
