The surge protection device from Phoenix Contact is a universal, pluggable lightning current and surge arrester based on a varistor. It has been specifically designed for single-phase power supply networks with a separate neutral conductor (N) and protective earth (PE), making it ideal for applications in a 3-wire system (L1, N, PE). With a high lightning impulse current capacity of 12.5 kA, this arrester provides effective protection against surges caused by lightning strikes or other electrical disturbances. Installation is straightforward on a DIN rail, facilitating integration into various electrical systems. The arrester meets Type 1 testing standards and is rated for a nominal voltage of 240 V, making it a reliable choice for protecting electrical installations.
