Surge protection device cartridge iQuick PRD40r A9L16310

Electrical installation protection with iQuick PRD40r

The iQuick PRD40r surge limiter insert is a key element in protecting electrical installations from the effects of sudden voltage increases. A Class Type 2 device, designed for DIN rail mounting, effectively protects electrical equipment in residential and commercial buildings. Its function is to dissipate excess energy generated by lightning strikes or other network disturbances, minimizing the risk of damage and ensuring continuity of power supply.

Construction and application

The PRD40r limiter is characterized by its compact design and ease of installation. Optical indication of the device status informs about its operation, which facilitates diagnostics and rapid response in the event of a surge. Designed for TN and TT network systems, it provides protection in a wide range of applications – from securing individual lighting circuits to protecting more complex installations. The rated discharge current of 20 kA (peak value 8/20) and the maximum discharge current of 40 kA guarantee effective protection against even strong surge pulses. The rated AC voltage of 230V makes it an ideal solution for standard electrical installations.
