The Schneider Electric iPRU 4‑Pole Surge Protective Device is a modular, pluggable surge protection solution designed to protect low‑voltage power distribution systems against transient overvoltages and lightning induced surges.
Specifications
General
Product Type: Surge Protective Device (SPD)
Series: iPRU (Pluggable Surge Protection)
Number of Poles: 4 (three phases + neutral)
