Why Choose the ABB OVR T2-T3 3L 20-275 P QS Surge Protective Device?

The ABB OVR T2-T3 3L 20-275 P QS 2CTB803873R3400 is a three-pole combined Type 2 and Type 3 surge protective device (SPD) designed for low-voltage three-phase electrical installations. Part of ABB's OVR QuickSafe range, it is intended for TN-C 230/400 V AC networks, helping protect distribution systems and sensitive downstream equipment against transient overvoltages.

The OVR T2-T3 3L 20-275 P QS has a maximum continuous operating voltage Uc of 275 V AC. It provides a maximum discharge current Imax of 20 kA and a nominal discharge current In of 5 kA using an 8/20 µs waveform, together with a low voltage protection level Up of 0.85 kV.

ABB's QuickSafe (QS) design combines pluggable construction with replaceable protection cartridges for straightforward maintenance. Mechanical indicators provide local operating-status information for each arrester, while the compact three-module design occupies just 53.4 mm of DIN-rail width, making it suitable for commercial, industrial and building distribution boards where space-efficient coordinated surge protection is required.

Key Advantages

  • Combined Type 2 + Type 3 surge protection for distribution-level and sensitive downstream equipment protection.
  • Three-pole configuration specifically suited to compatible TN-C three-phase networks.
  • 20 kA maximum discharge current (Imax) for transient surge-current handling.
  • Low 0.85 kV voltage protection level Up helps limit transient voltage reaching connected equipment.
  • QuickSafe pluggable construction allows individual protection cartridges to be replaced.
  • Mechanical status indication provides straightforward local inspection of each arrester.

Key Features

  • ABB OVR T2-T3 QuickSafe surge protection range.
  • Combined Type 2 + Type 3 / Class II + III SPD.
  • Three protected lines.
  • TN-C network configuration.
  • 230/400 V AC nominal system voltage.
  • 275 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage Uc.
  • 20 kA maximum discharge current Imax.
  • 5 kA nominal discharge current In.
  • 0.85 kV voltage protection level Up.
  • QuickSafe pluggable cartridges with mechanical operating-status indicators.

Combined Type 2 and Type 3 Protection for TN-C Networks

Combined Type 2 and Type 3 SPDs provide surge-current handling at distribution level together with a low residual voltage suitable for protecting sensitive downstream equipment. Type 2 performance is characterised by safe discharge of surge current using an 8/20 µs waveform, while Type 3 protection is intended to provide enhanced voltage limitation close to sensitive equipment.

The ABB OVR T2-T3 3L 20-275 P QS combines 20 kA Imax, 5 kA In and a low 0.85 kV Up across three protected lines. QuickSafe pluggable construction and mechanical status indication support efficient inspection and cartridge replacement throughout the surge protective device's service life.

Typical Applications

  • 230/400 V AC three-phase TN-C electrical systems.
  • Main and sub-distribution switchboards.
  • Commercial building electrical installations.
  • Industrial electrical distribution panels.
  • Automation and control-system protection.
  • Protection of sensitive electrical and electronic equipment.
  • Installations requiring compact combined Type 2 and Type 3 surge protection.
