The Schneider Electric iPRU 20 4P 20KA is a Type 2 / Class II Surge Protective Device (SPD) from the Acti 9 iPRU series. It is designed to protect low-voltage electrical installations (up to 400V AC) against transient overvoltages caused by indirect or remote lightning strikes and switching operations. The "20" indicates a 20kA per mode nominal discharge current, and "4P" denotes a 4-pole (3P+N) protection mode configuration.
