Surge Protection

STP T12 25 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.

STP T2 40 is the series of Type 2/Class II devices for discharging voltage surges, in accordance with EN/IEC 61643-11. Suitable for the second stage of protection in supply distribution panels in which Type 1 protection devices are installed upstream, or for the first stage of protection in commercial or other applications not exposed to direct strikes and with no external lightning protection system.

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 T2 is the series of DC photovoltaic surge protection junction boxes for inverters to IEC/EN standard. With surge protection type 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.
