The Schneider iPRU 3P 65KA is a 3-pole surge protection device (SPD) designed to protect three-phase electrical systems from transient voltage surges. This device is engineered to handle high-energy electrical surges, typically caused by lightning strikes, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and switching operations.
Specifications:
Type: Surge Protection Device (SPD)
Number of Poles: 3P (3 poles) – Suitable for three-phase systems
Surge Capacity: 65 kA (maximum surge current that the SPD can safely absorb)
Rated Voltage: Typically 415V (for three-phase systems)
Nominal Voltage: 230V (for each phase)
Protection Level: Offers high-level protection for the entire three-phase system, ensuring protection against transient voltage surges.
Clamping Voltage: Typically 385V (the voltage level at which the SPD activates and absorbs the surge)
Response Time: Provides instantaneous protection by reacting quickly to voltage spikes, preventing damage to connected devices.
Energy Coordination: The SPD is designed to work in coordination with upstream circuit breakers and fuses, ensuring that it provides optimal protection without unnecessarily tripping the system.
Frequency Range: 50/60 Hz
Housing: Designed for DIN rail mounting, making it easy to install in standard electrical distribution panels and switchgear.
Compliance: Complies with IEC 61643-1 for surge protection, ensuring it meets global standards for safety, reliability, and performance.
