Surge Arrester 4P 12.5kA (10/350) Class T1+T2 (B+C) SCHELINGER

The SCHELINGER A51-SPD03-4P-B+C is a high-performance combined Type 1 + Type 2 surge protective device (SPD) designed for protection against direct and indirect lightning strikes. With a 4-pole configuration and an impulse current of 12.5 kA (10/350 µs) per pole, it provides robust protection for electrical installations in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. This Class B+C arrester meets IEC 61643-11 standards and features a metal oxide varistor (MOV) technology with a thermal disconnector for safe operation.

Advantages

Combined Type 1 + Type 2 protection in a single device saves space and installation cost. High impulse current handling (12.5 kA) ensures reliable protection against direct lightning surges. Visual status indicator (green/red) allows easy monitoring of device health. DIN rail mounting simplifies installation in distribution boards.

Suitable for

• Main distribution boards in buildings requiring lightning protection
• Industrial and commercial electrical systems
• Residential installations with external lightning protection
• Telecommunications and data centers
