Surge Protection

Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT12 Series - AC-Reinforced is the series of combined Type 1+2/Class I+II devices intended for discharging lightning currents (10/350 μs) and protecting against induced voltage surges (8/20 μs), in accordance with IEC/EN 61643-11 . Suitable for the AC side protection of inverters or wind turbine generators with a nominal voltage of 800 V AC. The reinforced 3+1 variant ensures safe operation where high withstand voltage peaks are required or where DC offsets are induced in AC side.

Mersen’s Surge Trap STMT Series features low voltage surge protective devices suitable for both AC and DC voltage applications. This series is ideal for the protection of controls, power supplies, communication systems, and other sensitive equipment. With a slim design, these DIN-rail mount SPDs are ideal for limited space applications. The series is suitable for operating voltages of 12-230 VAC and 24-365 VDC and offers an optional dry contact feature for remote monitoring.

PV string boxes T1+2 is the series of DC photovoltaic surge protection junction boxes for inverters to IEC/EN standard. With surge protection type 1+2, such boxes are ready for installation and just need to be connected in parallel upstream of residential and lite comercial string inverters of several MPP trackers, mainly 1000Vdc rooftop installations. Available with MC4 or cable gland connectors and for one and two MPP tracker applications. Please consult for availability and models, for instance 5 pole and 8 pole SPDs.

STP T23 20 is the series of combined Type 2+3/Class II+III devices for discharging voltage surges while providing a very fine voltage protection level, in accordance with EN/IEC 61643-11. Suitable as the final stage of protection in panels with Type 2 protection devices installed upstream such as STP T2 40 SPDs. These SPDs should be installed as close as possible to the equipment being protected. LCF Leakage current free T1+2 (no electrial loses)

STP T12 12.5 is the series of combined Type 1+2/Class I+II devices for discharging lightning currents and protecting against voltage surges, in accordance with EN/IEC 61643-11. Suitable as the first step of protection in incoming power supply panels and areas with exposure to the atmosphere, where installations are usually provided with an external lightning protection system.
