AC surge arrester 2P 12,5 kA Type T1+2 Mersen
Manufacturer: Mersen
INDEX: 44120204
AC surge arrester, Surge-Trap® K model – K1 series, is a Type 1+2 / Class I+II device designed to protect electrical installations against lightning strikes (10/350 μs) and induced voltage surges (8/20 μs).
It is installed as the first line of defence for a building's electrical installation. It can be used in areas with high exposure to severe weather conditions where external lightning protection systems are installed. Applicable to both residential and commercial buildings.
The AC surge arrester protects against induced surges, most often caused by nearby lightning discharges or direct lightning strikes to the building, as well as voltage surges in the power network resulting from failures or switching of large electrical loads.
It is installed to protect both the building's electrical installation and the devices connected to it, especially where the building is powered using photovoltaic systems.
