Frequently Asked Questions
What type of surge protection does this device provide?
The STPT2-40K275V-3P provides Type 2 surge protection, suitable for protecting electrical installations from transient overvoltages caused by indirect lightning strikes and switching operations.
Can the modules be replaced without disconnecting the entire device?
Yes, the device features pluggable modules that allow for quick replacement without the need to disconnect the entire unit, reducing downtime.
Is this surge protector suitable for single-phase systems?
No, this model is designed specifically for three-phase 400V TN-C systems and is not suitable for single-phase applications.
What indication system does the device use to show its status?
It uses a green indicator to show normal operation. If the indicator is not green, it signals that the module needs to be replaced.

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.
