The Schneider iPRU3P+N 65KA is a 3-pole + neutral (3P+N) surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect electrical circuits from voltage surges, such as those caused by lightning strikes, power outages, or switching operations
Specifications:
Type: Surge Protection Device (SPD)
Number of Poles: 3P+N (3 poles + neutral)
Maximum Surge Current Rating: 65kA (indicating the maximum surge current the device can withstand without failure)
Rated Voltage: Typically 400V (for three-phase systems)
Nominal Voltage: 230V or 400V depending on application (for three-phase systems or configurations with neutral)
Protection Features:
Voltage Protection Level (VPL): Ensures protection for electrical systems by diverting harmful surges to the ground.
Clamping Voltage: Ensures that the clamping voltage remains low to provide efficient surge protection.
Thermal Protection: Includes thermal disconnection or protection features to prevent overheating of the device.
Automatic Reset: Upon successful discharge of the surge, the device automatically resets to continue protection.
Tripping Characteristics: The device disconnects in the event of an overload, and then automatically resets after the surge condition passes.
Standards Compliance: Complies with IEC 61643-1, and other international surge protection standards.
Key Features:
High Surge Current Capacity: The 65kA surge capacity ensures the device can handle large surge events without damage, protecting sensitive equipment and systems.
3P+N Configuration: Provides protection for both three-phase systems and the neutral line, ensuring comprehensive surge protection for the entire installation.
Space-Saving Design: Designed to be compact, making it ideal for installation in distribution boards, electrical panels, and switchgear.
Long Service Life: Built for durability, the iPRU3P+N 65KA SPD is designed to provide long-lasting protection, minimizing maintenance requirements.
