Why Choose the Mersen 44020404 K2-4P275 Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen 44020404, also known as the K2-4P275, is a robust Type 2 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect low-voltage electrical installations against transient overvoltages caused by indirect lightning strikes and switching events. As part of the Mersen Surge-Trap® K2 Series, this pluggable four-pole SPD provides reliable protection for 230/400 V AC TNS electrical systems.
Featuring a 4+0 protection configuration, the K2-4P275 protects all live conductors individually, making it particularly suitable for TNS earthing systems. With a 20 kA nominal discharge current and a 50 kA maximum discharge current, it safeguards sensitive electrical equipment including control panels, switchboards, automation systems and industrial machinery.
Its reinforced pluggable design allows rapid replacement of protection cartridges without removing the DIN rail base. A built-in visual status indicator provides immediate confirmation of operational status, helping minimise maintenance time while ensuring continuous surge protection.
