Weidmüller VPU AC II 4 300/50 Surge Arrester 50 kA 4-Pole Type 2 SPD

The Weidmüller VPU AC II 4 300/50 is a high-performance Type 2 surge protective device (SPD) designed for AC power systems. With a maximum discharge current of 50 kA and 4-pole configuration, it provides reliable protection against transient overvoltages in industrial and commercial installations. Suitable for DIN rail mounting, this compact device ensures compliance with IEC 61643-11 standards.

Advantages

Robust varistor technology ensures fast response time (<25 ns) and high surge handling capability. Visual fault indication (green/red) simplifies maintenance. Wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +80°C) and flame-retardant housing guarantee long-term reliability.

Suitable for

• Main distribution boards in industrial facilities
• Commercial building power supplies
• Protection of sensitive electronic equipment
