Surge-Trap® Pluggable STPT2 Series - 5YPV is the PHOTOVOLTAIC range of Type 2/Class II devices intended for discharging induced voltage surges (8/20 μs), in accordance with IEC/EN 61643-31 standards. Ideal solution for protecting 2 or 3 MPPT, saving space and optimizing cost. DIN rail plug-in format.

Mersen’s Surge Trap STMT Series features low voltage surge protective devices suitable for both AC and DC voltage applications. This series is ideal for the protection of controls, power supplies, communication systems, and other sensitive equipment. With a slim design, these DIN-rail mount SPDs are ideal for limited space applications. The series is suitable for operating voltages of 12-230 VAC and 24-365 VDC and offers an optional dry contact feature for remote monitoring.

Mersen’s TPMOV technology eliminates common failure modes that occur in the field with standard metal oxide varistors. Internally each unit is comprised of a voltage clamping device and a disconnecting apparatus that monitors the status of the metal oxide disk, making the TPMOV surge suppression component a fail-safe device. In the event of an overvoltage breakdown, the metal oxide disc is securely disconnected from the system power by an arc shield. Upon failure, the TPMOV surge suppression component is also equipped with a visual pin indicator as well as a normally open micro-switch, providing remote indication if applicable.

TPMOV7 series surge suppression component: 50% more surge capacity, in the same footprint
The TPMOV7 series is rated for 75kA - 8/20μs peak surge current and is available for maximum continuous operating voltages (MCOV) from 150V to 320VAC.

STP T2 40 is the series of Type 2/Class II devices for discharging voltage surges, in accordance with EN/IEC 61643-11. Suitable for the second stage of protection in supply distribution panels in which Type 1 protection devices are installed upstream, or for the first stage of protection in commercial or other applications not exposed to direct strikes and with no external lightning protection system.

Surge-Trap® K - K2 Series is a range of devices Type 2/Class II designed to protect against induced voltage surges (8/20 μs).
