Surge protective device iPFK20-T2-1N 1+1-pole Type2 20 kA A9L15692

Surge protection for your installation

The iPFK20-T2-1N surge protector is a key element in protecting electrical installations from the effects of sudden voltage spikes. The device, part of the Acti 9 range from Schneider Electric, effectively protects against transient overvoltages that can damage sensitive electronic and electrical equipment. This is particularly important in residential and commercial buildings, where failures caused by surges can generate significant costs.

Functionality and application

The surge protector is designed for protection in electrical power distribution networks. Its 1+1-pole design (phase and neutral) makes it ideal for protecting single-phase circuits. Compatibility with TN-S and TT grounding systems provides wide application possibilities in different types of installations. Therefore, regardless of the network configuration, you can count on effective protection against the effects of lightning strikes or disturbances in the power grid.

Characteristics and benefits

The device is characterized by high efficiency – it withstands an impulse current of up to 20 kA (8/20 µs), and its short-circuit strength is 25 kA. The protection level of 1.1 kV (L-N) and 1.5 kV (N-PE) guarantees minimization of the risk of damage to equipment connected to the network. Mounting is done on a standard DIN TH-35 mm mounting rail, which facilitates integration with the existing electrical infrastructure. Optical indication of operation allows for quick identification of the situation in which the surge protector reacted to an overvoltage. The maximum wire cross-section of up to 16 mm² ensures compatibility with most standard cabling. The use of metal oxide varistors (MOV) and gas discharge tubes (GDT) ensures a quick response and effective suppression of surges. The compact dimensions of the device (2 modules) allow for easy installation even in limited space in the switchgear.
