Eaton 3 Phase Surge Protector, 25kA, 1.5kV, Surface Mount Mount

This surge protector is an essential voltage protection device designed specifically for industrial applications. The Eaton surge protector features a compact surface mount design with dimensions of 254 x 140 x 238 mm. Capable of handling a maximum surge current of 25kA, it ensures robust protection against electrical surges while maintaining an operational temperature range from -40°C to +60°C.

• High surge current protection for enhanced reliability
• Voltage protection rating of 1.5 kV ensures safety
• Impulse discharge current capability of 100 kA protects equipment
• Designed for three-phase systems to optimise power distribution
• Surface mount design allows for easy installation and space-saving
• Operates effectively in extreme temperatures for versatile use

• Used for protecting machinery in industrial environments
• Ideal for installation in three-phase electrical systems
• Suitable for integration in Memshield 3 Distribution Boards
• Utilised in requiring robust surge suppression

It is designed to handle a maximum surge current of 25 kA, effectively diverting excess energy during surges to protect connected equipment.

The voltage protection rating of 1.5 kV indicates the maximum voltage that can be tolerated, ensuring that equipment remains safe from overvoltage conditions.

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician, ensuring that it is connected to a compatible distribution board and maintained according to relevant electrical safety regulations.

The device operates effectively within a temperature range of -40°C to +60°C, making it suitable for various environmental conditions.

Eaton formerly known as Moeller

Voltage surges, often referred to as spikes or transients are typically caused by switching of fluorescent lights, fuses blowing or nearby lightning activity. The worst voltage spikes are usually caused by lightning strikes and can reach up to 6000V, with current surges of over 3000A. The maximum size of the let-through voltage and current inrush depends on the location within the building's wiring system. BS7671: 2011 Amendment 1 Sections 443 and 534 cover risk assessment and provides guidance on protection of electronic equipment for installation engineers to follow. The fullest information on lightning and surge protection comes from the BSEN 62305 series of standards.
