Reliable Protection Against Electrical Surges
Surge protection devices help protect electrical systems by safely limiting transient overvoltages before they reach connected equipment. This reduces the risk of damage to control systems, switchgear, telecommunications hardware, monitoring devices, power supplies and other sensitive electrical components.
The Mersen STPT12 range is designed for use as the first level of protection in incoming power supply panels and exposed installations. Its Type 1+2 classification makes it suitable for applications requiring coordinated protection against lightning currents and voltage spikes.
Typical Applications
- Low voltage power distribution systems.
- Incoming supply panels.
- Industrial automation and control circuits.
- Telecommunications and signalling systems.
- Monitoring and instrumentation equipment.
- Specialist 60 V AC electrical installations.
