Why Choose the ABB OVR T2 3N 40-440s P TS QS Surge Protective Device?
The ABB OVR T2 3N 40-440s P TS QS, order code 2CTB815704R3700, is a high-performance Type 2 surge protective device (SPD) designed for three-phase plus neutral 400/690 V AC TN-S and TT electrical systems. Installed in main or sub-distribution switchboards, it protects low-voltage installations and sensitive equipment against transient overvoltages caused by indirect lightning effects and electrical switching events.
The OVR T2 3N 40-440s P TS QS uses a 3+1 protection configuration and has a maximum continuous operating voltage Uc of 440 V AC. It provides a nominal discharge current In of 20 kA and a maximum discharge current Imax of 40 kA using the 8/20 µs waveform, with a total maximum discharge-current capability of 160 kA.
ABB's Safety Reserve technology provides an additional protection stage to maintain basic surge protection when the primary varistor reaches end of life, while QuickSafe technology supports reliable thermal disconnection. Pluggable cartridges, visual condition indication and TS remote signalling with one normally open and one normally closed contact make the device particularly suitable for installations where straightforward maintenance and remote SPD monitoring are required.

Safety Reserve Surge Protection for Three-Phase Plus Neutral Systems
Type 2 SPDs are designed to discharge transient currents generated by indirect lightning effects and electrical switching before damaging overvoltages reach downstream equipment. The ABB OVR T2 3N 40-440s P TS QS combines 20 kA nominal and 40 kA maximum discharge-current ratings with a coordinated 3+1 topology for three-phase plus neutral TN-S and TT systems.
The Safety Reserve function increases protection availability by retaining a basic level of surge protection when the primary varistor protection stage reaches end of life. Together with visual indication, individually replaceable cartridges and TS auxiliary contacts, this enables maintenance personnel to identify deterioration, remotely monitor SPD status and schedule replacement without unnecessarily changing the complete surge protection assembly.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase plus neutral 400/690 V AC TN-S installations.
- Three-phase plus neutral TT electrical distribution systems.
- Main low-voltage distribution switchboards.
- Industrial sub-distribution boards.
- Commercial building electrical systems.
- Manufacturing and process-control installations.
- Protection of automation, control and electronic equipment.
- Installations requiring preventive SPD maintenance indication.
- Systems requiring remote surge-protection status monitoring.
