DEHNguard DG M TNS 275 para-raios tipo 2, 4 polos, 275 V AC, 40 kA, IP20, calha DIN

With a maximum discharge current of 40 kA (8/20 µs) and a voltage protection level of ≤1.2 kV, the DEHNguard DG M TNS 275 FM delivers robust surge protection for TN-S power supply systems. This modular Type 2 surge protective device (SPD) is engineered to safeguard electrical installations from transient overvoltages, ensuring operational continuity and equipment longevity.

Overview

The DEHNguard DG M TNS 275 FM is a four-pole surge arrester designed for 230/400 V AC TN-S networks. It features a varistor-based protection circuit with a nominal discharge current of 20 kA and a maximum discharge current of 40 kA. The device offers protection modes L-N and N-PE, covering all necessary paths for comprehensive surge mitigation. Its follow current extinguishing capability and high short-circuit withstand rating of 50 kA rms (with a maximum backup fuse of 125 A gG) ensure reliable performance under fault conditions.
