Eaton Surge Arrester Plug-in Module C 30kA 260V AC 167617

The Eaton Surge Arrester Plug-in Module C 30kA 260V AC is a high-quality protective component designed for Type C (Class II) surge protection systems. This modular device is engineered to safeguard sensitive electrical equipment by effectively diverting transient overvoltages and power surges to the ground. It is designed for seamless integration into standard electrical distribution boards, providing a reliable defense mechanism for both residential and industrial power networks.

Advantages

This plug-in module offers exceptional ease of maintenance due to its modular design, allowing for quick replacement without the need to disconnect the entire wiring system. Its robust construction ensures a high discharge capacity of 30kA, which is sufficient to handle significant electrical disturbances. The device is optimized for 260V AC systems, ensuring compatibility with standard power grids while maintaining consistent performance and long-term operational safety for connected electronics.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards
• Industrial control panels
• Protection of sensitive electronic appliances
• Commercial building power systems

This module is not suitable for use in DC power systems or high-voltage industrial networks exceeding its rated 260V AC capacity. It should not be used as a primary lightning protection device (Type I) in areas prone to direct lightning strikes, as it is specifically designed for secondary (Type C) protection.

Key specifications

• Protection Class: Type C (Class II)
• Maximum Discharge Capacity: 30kA
• Rated Voltage: 260V AC
• Mounting Type: Plug-in module

To use this surge arrester, ensure that the base unit is already installed in your distribution board. Simply align the module with the base and press it firmly into place until it clicks. The device is designed to be replaced easily if the internal protection mechanism has been triggered, which is typically indicated by a visual status window on the front of the module.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing base unit is compatible with this specific plug-in module series.
• Ensure the voltage rating matches your local electrical network requirements.
• Check the current status of your existing surge protection system to confirm if a replacement is necessary.

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the visual status indicator on the module to ensure it is functioning correctly. If the indicator shows that the protection has been exhausted, replace the module immediately to maintain the safety of your electrical installation.
