Overview

The Mersen Surge-Trap® STXR Series STXR120P05 is a UL 1449 5th Edition Type 1 Surge Protective Device (SPD) engineered for robust surge protection in branch panel and individual equipment applications. This compact, panel-mount SPD meets ANSI/UL 1449 5th Edition standards (File E210793) and CSA C22.2 Type 1 SPD requirements, making it a compliant replacement for older, less effective surge arrestors. At its core, the STXR series leverages Mersen's proprietary TPMOV® technology, delivering industry-leading safety and reliability with a 50kA surge capacity per phase and per mode, and a 200kA Short-Circuit Current Rating (SCCR). Designed for 120V AC systems, the STXR120P05 provides L-G and L-N protection in a single-phase configuration, with optional L-L, L-G, and N-G modes available. Its pre-wired 36" (1m) 10AWG leads simplify installation, fitting standard 3/4" knockouts for direct panel mounting. The NEMA 4X non-metallic enclosure ensures durability in indoor or outdoor environments, while the bright LED status indicator—visible through a clear cover—provides real-time functional monitoring (green = operational, OUT = replace). Ideal for commercial and industrial distribution panels, control panels, and direct equipment protection, the STXR120P05 eliminates the need for additional overcurrent protection. Operating across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and humidity levels up to 95% non-condensing, this SPD is built to withstand harsh conditions. Optional accessories include a mounting bracket for surface applications and NEMA 4X enclosure variants for enhanced environmental resistance. Backed by a 5-year manufacturer warranty, the STXR120P05 delivers dependable transient voltage spike protection for sensitive electronics.
