Schneider Electric Surge Arrestor SPD - 2P - 350V - With Remote Transfer

Acti 9 iPF K, iPRD

Surge Protection Devices Type 2

Part of 9 Series

Surge Arresters Type 2, compliant with IEC/EN 61643-11:2011

Features

Acti 9 iPF K & 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.

With exclusive features, Acti 9 iPF K & 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)
• Maximum discharge current: 8 to 65 kA
• Maximum continuous operating voltage, Uc = 340 V or 460 V
• Suitable for any earthing system: TT, TN-S, TN-C and IT
• Available either as monobloc or with pluggable cartridges
• Multiple-pole or single-pole products for assembly
• Contacts for the remote transfer of end-of-life information

Benefits

Improved continuity of service and safety of your equipment’s thanks to:

• Class 2 insulation: continuous safety for operators and unqualified personnel
• VISI-TRIP™: 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 iPF K & 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, if
  a Type 1 surge arrester is installed in the main electrical switchboard, a Type
  2 surge arrester must also 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.
