Overview

The ABB OVRT240320CU is a replacement surge protective device (SPD) cartridge designed for ABB’s OVR series. It uses Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) technology to clamp transient overvoltages in electrical systems. Rated for 40 kA maximum discharge current and 320 V AC maximum continuous operating voltage (MCOV), it protects single-phase (2w+Gnd), three-phase (4w+Gnd), and split-phase (2w+Gnd) networks at 240–277 V AC. The cartridge offers a voltage protection rating (VPR) of 1.0 kV or 1.2 kV depending on the base unit. Designed for indoor Type 1 applications, it mounts on DIN rails and responds in under 25 nanoseconds. SKU: OVRT240320CU. Made by ABB - Electrification.
