The surge protection device from Phoenix Contact is a universal, pluggable lightning current and surge arrester that operates on a varistor basis. It is specifically designed for 3-phase power supply networks with a separate neutral conductor (N) and protective conductor (PE), making it suitable for lightning protection classes III and IV. With a nominal voltage of 240 V and a lightning impulse current of 12.5 kA, this device provides effective protection against surges caused by lightning strikes or other electrical disturbances. The arrester is intended for mounting on DIN rails and features a robust construction made of polyamide. The protection rating of IP20 ensures that the device is suitable for use in protected indoor environments. The operating temperature range is from -40 °C to +80 °C, allowing for high flexibility in various environments.
