Why Choose the Mersen STPT2-40K320V-3PM Surge Protection Device?
The Mersen STPT2-40K320V-3PM (Part Number 83020137) is a high-performance Type 2 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect three-phase low-voltage electrical installations against transient overvoltages caused by lightning activity and electrical switching events. As part of the Mersen Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT2 Series, it provides reliable protection for industrial, commercial and infrastructure electrical systems.
Featuring a 40 kA maximum discharge current (Imax), 320 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc), pluggable modular construction and remote indication, this SPD supports fast installation, simple cartridge replacement and external monitoring of protection status.
Designed for 277 / 480 V AC three-phase systems with a 3+0 TNC configuration, the STPT2-40K320V-3PM is well suited to protecting automation equipment, machine control panels, commercial switchboards, building services and critical low-voltage electrical installations.
