Why Choose the Mersen 44020106 K2-1P320 Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen 44020106 K2-1P320 is a high-performance Type 2 Surge Protection Device (SPD) designed to protect single-phase low-voltage electrical installations against transient overvoltages caused by switching operations and indirect lightning strikes. Part of the proven Mersen Surge-Trap® K - K2 Series, this pluggable SPD delivers dependable second-stage surge protection for commercial, industrial and infrastructure applications.
Designed for installation within distribution boards, the K2-1P320 features a compact DIN rail mounted housing with replaceable pluggable protection cartridges. This modular construction enables quick maintenance while reducing downtime and maintaining continuous protection for connected electrical equipment.
With a 320 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc), a 50 kA maximum discharge current (Imax) and a 20 kA nominal discharge current (In), the K2-1P320 is specifically designed for 277 V AC single-phase TNS, TNC and TT (L-N only) electrical systems.
