Hager SPB420 scaricatore di sovratensione Tipo 2 3P+N 275V AC 40kA guida DIN

The Hager SPB420 is a Type 2 surge protective device engineered for TN-S and TT earthing systems, providing reliable protection against transient overvoltages in low-voltage installations. Its 3P+N configuration and 40 kA maximum discharge current set it apart from basic single-pole arresters, making it suitable for main distribution boards where robust surge diversion is required.

Highlights

• Type 2 SPD per EN 61643-11 for TN-S and TT systems
• 3P+N (4-pole) design with 4-module DIN rail mounting
• Nominal discharge current 20 kA, maximum 40 kA (8/20 µs)
• Voltage protection level below 1.5 kV for sensitive loads
• Visual status indicator (green/red) for quick health checks

In daily use

The SPB420 installs on a standard DIN rail and connects with flexible conductors up to 35 mm² or rigid up to 50 mm². Its metal oxide varistor technology responds instantly to surges, clamping voltage to safe levels. The integrated indicator shows green when operational and red when replacement is needed, simplifying maintenance in commercial and residential panels.
