Schneider Electric IPRD20 Modular Surge Arrester - 2P - 350V

Acti 9 iPRD Surge Arresters Type 2, compliant with IEC/EN 61643-11

Acti 9 iPRD Type 2 Surge Protection Devices protect the electrical equipment’s against the indirect lightning strikes. The use of Type 2 Surge Arresters is recommended in the case of non-critical power installations. They are tested and rated according to the standardised current wave of 8/20 µs.

Acti 9 iPRD DIN rail Type 2 Surge Protection Devices are geared to protect your equipment’s from indirect lightning strikes and improve the continuity of service.

· Certified for short-circuit current withstand, Isc, up to 50 kA (IEC 61643-11:2011)

· Multiple-pole or single-pole products for assembly

· Contacts for the remote transfer of end-of-life information

Benefits

It improved continuity of service and safety of your equipment. It benefits includes:

· Continuous safety for operators and unqualified personnel

· It quickly detects the defects of protection against the surges and reduces intervention time

· Certified back-up protection coordination with disconnecting circuit-breakers

· The robustness of the connections

· Remote monitoring of protection device state (option)

Applications

Acti 9 iPRD Type 2 Surge Protection Devices protect the electrical installations in all industrial and tertiary buildings against induced or conducted surges caused by indirect lightning strikes.

These Type 2 Surge Protection Devices can be used also for the protection of residential installations:

· In every new house without a lightning rod (primary protection), it is now mandatory to install in the electrical switchboard a Type 2 Surge Protection Device to reach the IEC 61643-11: 2011 standard

· In a building with a height greater than 10 meters, with several dwellings, aType 2 surge arrester must be installed at the head of each divisional switchboards in order to distribute the constraints

· This complementarity of the protections is mandatory to meet the IEC 61643-11:2011 standard.
