WEI VPU ZPA S I 3+1 RA 300/7.5 scaricatore di sovratensione per reti elettriche

Type 1 lightning current arrester with spark gap technology, engineered for 3+1 configurations in TN-S and TT power networks. Its core strength lies in safely discharging impulse currents up to 7.5 kA (10/350 µs) per pole, providing robust protection against direct lightning strikes at the service entrance.

Advantages

Spark gap technology ensures extremely low voltage protection levels (≤1.5 kV) and high follow current extinguishing capability (50 kA rms). The integrated remote signaling contact enables proactive monitoring, while the compact DIN rail design simplifies installation in distribution boards. Thermoplastic flame-retardant housing guarantees durability and safety.

Suitable for

• Main distribution boards in residential and commercial buildings
• Industrial power supply systems requiring Type 1 surge protection
