DEHNrail DR M 4P 255 Type 2 Surge Arrester 4-Pole 255V 953400

The DEHNrail DR M 4P 255 stands out among Type 2 surge arresters with its 4-pole protection for all three phases plus neutral-to-earth, ensuring comprehensive protection in TN-S and TT systems. Its thermally monitored varistors and clear optical status indication provide immediate visual confirmation of device health.

Highlights

• 4-pole protection: L1-N, L2-N, L3-N, N-PE
• Maximum continuous operating voltage: 255 V AC
• Nominal discharge current: 20 kA (8/20 µs)
• Maximum discharge current: 40 kA (8/20 µs)
• Voltage protection level: ≤ 1.2 kV
• Optical status indication (green/red)
• Mounts on 35 mm DIN rail, width 4 TE (70 mm)

In daily use

Installation is straightforward on standard 35 mm DIN rails. The device's compact 4-module width saves space in distribution boards. The green/red indicator allows quick status checks without additional tools, reducing maintenance time.
