Overview

The Mersen Surge-Trap® SP180U Pluggable Surge Protective Device (SPD) delivers advanced 180V overvoltage protection for industrial and commercial systems. Utilizing Mersen’s patented TPMOV® technology, this SPD eliminates the need for external fuses, fuse holders, or additional wiring, reducing installation time and costs while meeting UL 1449 4th Edition standards. Designed for ANSI/UL 1449 Type 1 and Type 2 applications, the SP180U features a fail-safe, self-protected design with thermally protected MOVs for reliable operation. Its high short-circuit current rating (SCCR) of 200kA and surge capacity of 50kA provide robust protection against transient overvoltages. The 35mm DIN-rail mountable base simplifies installation, while the pluggable design allows for quick module replacement without rewiring, minimizing downtime. A visual indicator offers immediate status feedback, and an optional remote indicator is available for critical control circuitry. The device includes IP20 finger-safe protection and mechanical coding to prevent installation errors. Key specifications include a nominal discharge current rating (In) of 10-20kA (8x20 μs), a response time of less than 1 nanosecond, and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Applications include industrial control panels, water treatment, smart grid systems, and traffic control.
