The Schneider Electric iPRU 3P+N 80 kA is a four‑pole surge protective device (SPD) designed to protect low‑voltage electrical distribution systems from high‑energy transient overvoltages.
Specifications (English)
General
Product Type: Surge Protective Device (SPD)
Model / Series: iPRU 3P+N (80 kA)
Number of Poles: 4 (three phases + neutral)
Mounting: DIN‑rail compatible
Application: Power distribution surge protection for three‑phase with neutral systems
Surge Protection Ratings
Surge Current Capacity: Rated to handle 80 kA of surge current per mode (8/20 µs waveform)
Nominal Discharge Current: Defined for high‑energy surge suppression in distribution networks
Maximum Continuous Operating Voltage (Uc): Designed for continuous operation at the system’s nominal voltage
Protection Technology: MOV (metal‑oxide varistor) based transient suppression elements
Electrical Ratings
Rated Operational Voltage (Ue): Suitable for low‑voltage three‑phase AC systems (commonly ~230/400 V AC, 50/60 Hz)
Frequency: 50 Hz / 60 Hz compatibility
Operating Mode Coverage: Protection of Line‑to‑Neutral, Line‑to‑Earth, and Neutral‑to‑Earth surge modes
Protection Performance
Response Time: Fast response to transient overvoltages to reduce stress on downstream equipment
Voltage Protection Level (Up): Engineered to clamp surge voltages to safe levels that minimize equipment stress
Indicators: Typically includes visual indicators for SPD status (e.g., operational vs end‑of‑life)
Mechanical & Environmental
