Surge arrester Type 2 (C) 40/80kA 2P DS42-230 C461501

### Protection of electrical and photovoltaic installations

The Type 2 (C) DS42-230 surge protector is a key element in protecting electrical installations, especially those integrated with photovoltaic systems. The device effectively protects against the effects of overvoltages, which can damage sensitive equipment and shorten its lifespan. Designed by CITEL, a renowned manufacturer in the industry, guarantees high quality and reliable operation.

Construction and application

The two-pole surge protector (2P) is designed for installation in single-phase installations with a rated voltage of 230V AC. Its compact dimensions – 40 mm x 80 mm x 100 mm – make installation easy even in crowded switchboards. The low weight (0.21 kg) further simplifies the installation and transport process. The device finds wide application both in home and industrial installations, as well as in photovoltaic systems, where protection against overvoltages is particularly important for devices converting solar energy.

Effective overvoltage protection

The DS42-230 surge protector is characterized by a high impulse withstand capability of 40/80 kA. This means that it is able to safely discharge a large surge current, minimizing the risk of damage to connected devices. Characteristic C provides a delayed response to short-term voltage spikes, which is particularly important when starting devices with motors or other elements generating starting current. This prevents the surge protector from tripping unnecessarily during normal operation.

Safety and compliance with standards

The device has been designed and manufactured in accordance with applicable safety standards. The manufacturer is CITEL S.A., and the importer/responsible entity in the EU is CITEL Polska Sp. z o.o., which ensures full compliance with legal and technical requirements. This surge protector is an investment in the long-term and safe operation of your electrical or photovoltaic installation – peace of mind guaranteed!
