The Schneider WATSNA-160/160-4CBR is a modular distribution board (MCCB) for surge protection that is part of the WATSNA series. It is designed to offer comprehensive protection against transient overvoltages and surges caused by lightning strikes, switching operations, and other electrical disturbances in electrical installations
Specifications:
Type: Surge Protection Device (SPD)
Model: WATSNA-160/160-4CBR
Current Rating: 160A
Number of Poles: 4P (4 poles) – Suitable for four-wire systems, including live and neutral conductors
Maximum Discharge Capacity: 160 kA (the maximum surge 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 level the SPD will allow during surge events)
Nominal Discharge Current (In): Typically 40 kA (standard surge current the device is rated for during normal surge events)
Rated Frequency: 50/60 Hz
Response Time: Fast response time for quick disconnect during surge events
Protection Features:
Comprehensive Surge Protection: Provides protection for both live (L) and neutral (N) conductors, as well as other key parts of the system, from electrical surges.
High Surge Capacity: The device has a 160 kA surge capacity, ensuring high-energy surge events, such as lightning strikes, are safely managed.
Thermal Disconnect: In case of overheating, the SPD is designed to automatically disconnect, preventing any potential risk from extended surge exposure.
Compliance: Complies with international standards such as IEC 61643-1 for surge protection devices and IEC 60364-5-53 for electrical installations.
