Kanlux KSPD-T2 275/40 1P Surge Arrester Type T2, 20kA, 1.5kV

The Kanlux KSPD-T2 275/40 1P is a high-quality Type T2 surge arrester engineered to protect electrical installations from transient overvoltages. This single-pole device is designed to be installed in distribution boards, acting as a critical barrier that diverts excess energy away from sensitive electronic components and household appliances. By maintaining a stable voltage level, it helps prevent damage caused by atmospheric discharges or switching operations within the power grid.

Advantages

This surge arrester offers a robust design that ensures long-term reliability in various electrical environments. Its Type T2 classification makes it highly effective at mitigating residual overvoltages following primary protection. The device is compact and easy to integrate into standard modular distribution systems, providing a seamless safety upgrade for both residential and commercial electrical panels. With a discharge current of 20kA and a low voltage protection level of 1.5kV, it provides a precise and efficient response to electrical surges.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards
• Commercial office power systems
• Protection of household appliances and electronics
• Secondary protection in industrial electrical panels

This device may not be suitable for primary protection in areas with high lightning strike frequency where a Type T1 arrester is required. It is also not intended for use in DC circuits or high-voltage transmission lines, as it is specifically calibrated for standard AC electrical installations.

Key specifications

• Type: T2 surge arrester
• Number of poles: 1
• Nominal discharge current: 20kA
• Voltage protection level: 1.5kV
• Maximum continuous operating voltage: 275V AC

The device should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical safety regulations. It is typically mounted on a standard DIN rail within the distribution board. Ensure that the connection cables are kept as short as possible to maintain the effectiveness of the protection. The device should be wired in parallel with the load to be protected, ensuring a secure connection to the grounding system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the voltage rating matches your local power grid specifications
• Ensure there is sufficient space on the DIN rail in your distribution board
• Confirm that the device is compatible with your existing grounding system
• Check if your installation requires additional Type T1 protection for comprehensive safety

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the status indicator on the device to ensure it is functioning correctly. If the indicator changes color, the arrester has reached the end of its service life and must be replaced immediately to maintain system protection.
