Overview

The ABB OVRT240550PTSU is a Type 2 Surge Protective Device (SPD) designed for 3-phase + neutral (3P+N) systems with a maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc) of 550V AC. This plug-in unit features a 40 kA maximum discharge current (Imax) and 20 kA nominal discharge current, providing robust protection against transient voltage surges. Compatible with UL 1449 5th edition standards, the OVRT240550PTSU is ideal for facilities with service voltages up to 480V AC. Engineered with metal oxide varistor (MOV) technology, the device offers response times under 25 nanoseconds, ensuring rapid suppression of surges. The pluggable cartridge design simplifies maintenance and replacement, while optional auxiliary contacts (TS designation) enable remote monitoring and integration with control systems. The housing is constructed from gray RAL 7035 thermoplastic (V0 rated) and mounts on a DIN rail for indoor installations. For optimal protection, ABB recommends installing this SPD at the main distribution panel. If cable lengths exceed 10 meters to protected equipment, a secondary SPD with lower Imax (e.g., 15 kA) should be installed in sub-distribution panels. The OVRT240550PTSU supports wire ranges from #6-14 AWG (stranded) and #4-14 AWG (solid), operating across a temperature range of -40°C to 80°C (-40°F to 175°F).
