Overview

The Mersen Surge-Trap® Pluggable SPD (STP1500YPVM) delivers advanced overvoltage protection for industrial applications, leveraging Mersen’s patented TPMOV® technology to eliminate the need for fuses, fuse holders, or additional wiring. This UL 1449 Third Edition-compliant device meets ANSI/UL 1449 5th Edition, ANSI/IEEE C62.41.1/2/45, and CSA C22.2 No. 269 standards, ensuring compliance and reliability. With a 1500V YPV system type, it is engineered for high-voltage environments such as industrial control panels, water treatment facilities, smart grid & LV metering, and traffic/ITS applications. Key specifications include a surge current rating (Imax) of 75kA, nominal discharge current (In) of 10–20kA (8x20 μs), and a short-circuit current rating (SCCR) of 200kA. The device features a response time of less than 1 nanosecond per phase, a 35mm DIN-rail mountable base, and a compact footprint. It supports wire ranges from 4–14AWG (2.5–25mm²) for solid or stranded copper conductors, with a torque of 35.4 lbs-in (4.0 Nm). The IP20 finger-safe design and UL94 V0 flammability rating ensure safety in harsh environments. Installation is simplified with a reversible chassis for top or bottom cable entry, mechanical coding to prevent replacement errors, and a visual status indicator (green = functional, red = replace). Optional remote monitoring via Form C dry contacts allows integration with critical control circuitry. Plugs are easily replaceable without rewiring or touching the base, minimizing downtime. The device operates across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and includes a 5-year warranty for added assurance. Ideal for retrofitting existing systems, the STP1500YPVM reduces installation costs and time by eliminating additional overcurrent protection devices. Its fail-safe design and thermally protected MOV ensure long-term reliability, making it a cost-effective solution for protecting sensitive industrial equipment from transient overvoltages.
