Surge protective device iPRD40r-T2-1N 1+1-pole Type2 40 kA with contact A9L40501

Schneider Electric surge protection devices – iPRD40r-T2-1N surge protector is a key element ensuring the safety of electrical installations against the effects of atmospheric overvoltages and network disturbances. A Class T2 device, designed for mounting on a TH-35 mm DIN rail, effectively protects electrical equipment, minimizing the risk of failures and costly repairs. Its 1P+N design allows protection of a single circuit with a neutral wire, which is particularly important in residential and commercial installations.

Functionality and application

This surge protector finds application in residential, commercial and industrial buildings where protection against overvoltages is crucial for the reliable operation of equipment. The rated discharge current of 40 kA (8/20) guarantees effective protection even with strong voltage impulses. The built-in remote signaling contact informs about the operation of the surge protector, enabling a quick response and assessment of the installation status. Optical signaling additionally facilitates visual identification of the device status. The surge protector is designed to work with TN-S and TT networks, providing a wide range of applications.

Key features and benefits

• Effective protection: Protects against the effects of atmospheric overvoltages and disturbances in the power supply network.
• Status indication: Built-in remote signaling contact and optical indication of operation facilitate monitoring of the device status and quick response in the event of a failure.
• Compact size: Occupies only 2 modules on the DIN rail, allowing for easy integration with the existing switchboard.
• Versatility: Designed to work with TN-S and TT networks, increasing the range of applications.
• Safety: Compliance with safety standards ensures reliable operation and protection against damage.
• Durability: Short-circuit strength at 50 kA provides resistance to short-circuit currents occurring during overvoltages.
• Installation flexibility: The possibility of connecting wires with a cross-section of up to 25 mm² (solid/stranded) and 16 mm² (flexible) ensures compatibility with various types of wires.
• Protection level: Provides a protection level of 1.4 kV between L-N and L-PE/N-PE, guaranteeing high effectiveness of protection against overvoltages.
