ABB OVR BT2 3N 40‑440 P TS is a Type 2 Surge Protective Device (SPD) designed to protect low-voltage power distribution systems from surges caused by indirect lightning strikes and switching overvoltages. It is intended for installation at main incoming panels or sub-distribution boards to safeguard electrical/electronic equipment. The “TS” version includes a potential-free auxiliary contact for remote signaling of device status.
