EATON SPCT2-335-3+NPE Dispositivo de proteção contra sobretensões tipo 2, trifásico + neutro + PE, 335 V AC, 40 kA Imax, calha DIN 167622

With a maximum discharge current of 40 kA per pole and a voltage protection level below 1.5 kV, the EATON SPCT2-335-3+NPE provides robust protection for three-phase power systems with neutral and protective earth. This Type 2 surge protective device is engineered for DIN rail mounting and features a high-energy varistor design for reliable transient overvoltage suppression.

Overview

The SPCT2-335-3+NPE is a 3+NPE configuration surge arrester designed for installation at the main distribution board. It offers a nominal discharge current of 20 kA per pole and a maximum continuous operating voltage of 335 V AC between live conductors and PE, and 255 V AC between neutral and PE. The device is compliant with IEC/EN 61643-11 and provides a visual status indicator for quick health checks.
