Why Choose the Lovato SA0B3PA320R Type 1+2 Surge Protection Device?
The Lovato SA0B3PA320R is a high-performance Type 1+2 surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect three-phase AC electrical installations against transient overvoltages associated with lightning events and induced electrical surges. As part of the Lovato Electric SA0B monoblock series, it combines Type 1 and Type 2 surge protection within a compact device for low-voltage power distribution systems.
Designed with a 3P pole configuration, the SA0B3PA320R provides an IEC impulse current Iimp of 12.5 kA per pole, a rated discharge current In of 20 kA and a maximum discharge current Imax of 50 kA. Its monoblock construction makes it suitable for installations requiring robust lightning and surge protection without the need for separate Type 1 and Type 2 protective devices.
The SA0B3PA320R is designed for AC power lines and has a maximum continuous operating voltage Uc of 320 V AC. It also incorporates thermal protection, frontal operating/end-of-life indication and a remote changeover contact, allowing the condition of the SPD to be monitored locally or remotely within electrical control and building management systems.
