Overview

The Mersen Surge-Trap Pluggable STP Series Surge Protective Device (SPD), SKU STP240S07, delivers robust surge protection for industrial control panels operating at 240VAC. Engineered with Mersen’s proprietary TPMOV® technology, this no-fuse, fail-safe SPD eliminates the need for separate overcurrent protection, simplifying installation and reducing system complexity. Designed for direct 35mm DIN-rail mounting, the STP240S07 features a compact polycarbonate enclosure in blue, conserving valuable panel space while ensuring durability with a UL94 V0 flammability rating. Key specifications include a 50kA surge current rating (Imax), 200kA short circuit current rating (SCCR), and a nominal discharge current (In) of 10–20kA (8x20 μs). The device operates across a wide system voltage range of 120VAC to 690VAC at 50/60Hz, making it suitable for diverse industrial applications. A high-speed response time of less than 1 nanosecond per phase ensures near-instantaneous protection against transient voltage spikes. Installation is straightforward with reversible chassis design allowing cable entry from top or bottom, and screw terminals accommodating 4–14AWG solid or stranded copper conductors. The STP240S07 includes a clear visual status indicator (green = functional, red = replace) and a Form C dry contact remote indicator output for critical control circuitry monitoring. Mechanical coding on replaceable modules prevents replacement errors, enhancing system reliability. Ideal for industrial control panels, water treatment facilities, smart grid applications, and traffic/ITS systems, the STP240S07 meets ANSI/UL 1449 5th Edition Type 1 and Type 2 requirements.
