The Schneider iPRU 3P+N 65KA is a 3-pole + neutral (3P+N) surge protection device (SPD) designed to provide effective protection against transient overvoltages caused by lightning strikes, switching operations, or other electrical disturbances in three-phase systems.
Specifications:
Type: Surge Protection Device (SPD)
Number of Poles: 3P+N (3 poles + neutral) – Suitable for three-phase systems with a neutral conductor
Maximum Discharge Capacity: 65 kA (the maximum fault current the SPD can safely handle without damage)
Voltage Protection Level (Up): Typically 1.5 kV (the voltage level that the SPD will limit the surge to)
Nominal Voltage (Un): Typically 400V (for three-phase systems)
Rated Frequency: 50/60 Hz
Nominal Discharge Current (In): Typically 20 kA (the current the device is designed to handle during normal surge events)
Protection Features:
Complete Surge Protection: Provides surge protection for both the live and neutral conductors, ensuring full protection of the electrical circuit.
High Discharge Capacity: With a 65 kA discharge capacity, the device can safely dissipate high-energy surges without compromising its performance or causing damage.
Compact Design: Despite its high discharge capacity, the SPD is designed to be compact, making it easy to integrate into distribution boards and electrical systems.
Thermal Disconnect: The device has an integrated thermal disconnect feature, which disconnects the SPD in case of thermal overload, ensuring safety during extreme surge events.
