The Schneider EsIim 3P+N 40KA is a surge protection device (SPD) designed for three-phase systems with neutral to protect electrical circuits from transient overvoltages, such as those caused by lightning strikes, switching operations, or other electrical disturbances.
Specifications:
Type: Surge Protection Device (SPD)
Number of Poles: 3P+N (3 poles + neutral) – Suitable for three-phase systems with neutral conductor
Maximum Discharge Capacity: 40 kA (the maximum fault current the SPD can safely handle)
Nominal Voltage (Un): Typically 400V (for three-phase systems)
Voltage Protection Level (Up): Typically 1.5 kV (the maximum voltage the SPD will allow)
Nominal Discharge Current (In): 20 kA (the standard surge current the SPD can handle)
Rated Frequency: 50/60 Hz
Response Time: Fast response time to ensure minimal damage from transient overvoltage events.
Protection Features:
Complete Surge Protection: Protects both live and neutral conductors, providing full protection for the electrical installation.
High Surge Capacity: With a 40 kA discharge capacity, it is capable of handling high-energy surges, ensuring that your equipment is protected from major surge events.
Thermal Disconnect: Integrated thermal disconnect feature that automatically isolates the SPD if it overheats, enhancing safety during fault conditions.
Compliance: Complies with international standards such as IEC 61643-1 for surge protection devices and IEC 60364-5-53 for low-voltage electrical installations.
