Overview

The Mersen Surge-Trap® ST Series Surge Protective Device (SPD), SKU ST1201PGM, offers robust overvoltage protection for 120V single-phase systems. Engineered with Mersen's patented TPMOV® technology, this no-fuse, fail-safe suppressor eliminates the need for additional overcurrent protection devices, simplifying installation and reducing component count. It is UL 1449 5th Edition approved and designed for easy DIN-rail mounting, making it ideal for industrial control panels, water treatment facilities, smart grid applications, and traffic/ITS systems. The ST1201PGM features a fail-safe, self-protected design with a clear visual indicator that displays status (Green = Functional, Red = Replace). Its compact footprint ensures efficient use of space within enclosures. For enhanced monitoring, an optional remote indicator provides status to critical control circuitry via Form C dry contacts. The device boasts a high short-circuit current rating (SCCR) of 200kA and a surge capacity of 50kA per phase/mode, with a nominal discharge current rating (In) of 10-20kA (8x20 μs). Its response time is less than 1 nanosecond, ensuring rapid protection against transient overvoltages. The ST1201PGM is IP20 finger-safe and constructed with UL94 V0 flammability rated materials, operating reliably in temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. Wire connections accommodate 4-14 AWG solid or stranded copper wire with a torque specification of 35.4 lbs-in (4.0 Nm). Mersen provides a 5-year warranty for this advanced surge protection solution.
