Why Choose the ABB OVR T2 3L 40-275 P QS Surge Protective Device?

The ABB OVR T2 3L 40-275 P QS, order code 2CTB803873R2400, is a three-pole, pluggable Type 2 surge protective device (SPD) designed to protect low-voltage electrical installations and sensitive equipment against transient overvoltages caused by indirect lightning effects and switching events. Part of the ABB OVR range and ABB's Surge Protection Devices product group, it is designed for three-phase 230/400 V AC TN-C networks.

The OVR T2 3L 40-275 P QS provides a maximum discharge current (Imax) of 40 kA and a nominal discharge current (In) of 20 kA using an 8/20 µs surge current waveform. Its 1.25 kV voltage protection level (Up) helps limit transient voltage reaching downstream equipment, while its 275 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc) suits 230/400 V AC three-phase installations.

Featuring three protected poles, replaceable pluggable protection modules and ABB QuickSafe technology, this SPD combines high surge-current handling with convenient maintenance. Mechanical status indicators provide clear local indication of each protection module's condition, while the compact DIN-rail format integrates efficiently into three-phase distribution boards and industrial control panels.

Reliable Type 2 Protection for Three-Phase Electrical Systems

Type 2 surge protective devices are installed in low-voltage distribution systems to limit transient overvoltages generated by indirect lightning effects and electrical switching operations. They safely discharge surge currents with an 8/20 µs waveform, helping reduce the voltage stress applied to sensitive electrical and electronic equipment.

The OVR T2 3L 40-275 P QS combines three-pole protection with a substantial 40 kA maximum discharge capability, ABB QuickSafe technology and replaceable pluggable modules. This makes it particularly suitable for three-phase TN-C distribution systems requiring compact, serviceable and high-performance Type 2 surge protection.

Typical Applications

  • 230/400 V AC three-phase TN-C electrical networks.
  • Industrial electrical distribution boards.
  • Commercial building electrical systems.
  • Industrial control and automation panels.
  • Manufacturing and production facilities.
  • Protection of sensitive three-phase electrical and electronic equipment.
  • Secondary protection against indirect lightning and switching surges.
