The Schneider Electric Acti 9 iPRF1 3P 12.5R is a Type 1 (Class I) Surge Protective Device from the iPRF1 series, featuring a 3-pole configuration and a built-in thermal disconnector ("R" version). It is designed to provide primary protection at the service entrance of three-phase electrical systems against direct and partial direct lightning strikes (10/350µs waveform).
Specifications
Parameter Specification
Product Series Acti 9 iPRF1 (Type 1 SPD Series)
Model iPRF1 3P 12.5R
Type / Class Type 1 (Class I) – Withstands partial direct lightning current (10/350 µs wave).
Configuration 3 Poles (3P) – Protects the three phase conductors (L1, L2, L3).
Lightning Current Impulse (Iimp) 12.5 kA (10/350 µs wave, per pole)
Nominal Discharge Current (In) 25 kA (8/20 µs wave, per pole)
Max. Discharge Current (Imax) 50 kA (8/20 µs wave, per pole)
Voltage Protection Level (Up) ≤ 2.5 kV (at In, typical for 400V systems)
Rated Voltage (Uc) 440V AC (L-L) for 400V AC three-phase systems.
Follow Current Interrupting Rating (Ifi) Typically 25 kA rms (for 50Hz systems), ensuring safe shutdown after a surge.
Key Feature "R" Integrated Thermal Disconnector:
• No external backup fuse required for standard installations (simplifies design and saves space).
• Automatically disconnects the SPD from the circuit in case of internal thermal overload due to end-of-life or sustained overvoltage, preventing fire risk.
Status Indication 3-color LED indicator:
• Green: Functional
• Orange: Warning/End of Life approaching
• Red: Faulty/Disconnected
Remote Signaling Built-in changeover contact (NO/NC) for remote alarm.
