STXR220V1P50

The Mersen Surge-Trap® Type 1 XR Series (SKU: STXR220V1P50) is a high-performance surge protective device (SPD) engineered to meet the rigorous UL1449 Third Edition standards, providing unparalleled protection for critical electrical infrastructure. Designed for 220V single-phase systems, this compact SPD is ideal for both service entrance applications and downstream control panels, offering installation flexibility without compromising performance. At its core, the XR Series leverages Mersen’s proprietary TPMOV® (Thermal Protected Metal Oxide Varistor) technology, a breakthrough in surge protection that ensures superior clamping performance, thermal stability, and long-term reliability. Unlike conventional varistor-based solutions, TPMOV® technology integrates advanced thermal management to prevent catastrophic failure, making it the safest choice for protecting sensitive industrial and commercial equipment from transient voltage spikes, lightning strikes, and utility switching events. The XR Series is purpose-built for environments where downtime is not an option. Its 1-pole (1P) design and compact polycarbonate housing make it easy to integrate into existing electrical panels, switchgear, or dedicated surge protection enclosures. The remote indicator feature provides real-time monitoring of SPD status, enabling proactive maintenance and reducing the risk of unnoticed failures. Whether deployed in manufacturing facilities, data centers, telecom hubs, renewable energy systems, or healthcare infrastructure, the XR Series delivers consistent protection across a wide range of applications. Its compliance with UL1449 Third Edition ensures it meets the latest industry requirements for surge current withstand, voltage protection rating (VPR), and let-through voltage, making it a trusted solution for professionals who demand both performance and peace of mind. Selecting the right SPD for an application requires careful consideration of system voltage, transient exposure, and installation constraints. The XR Series excels in 220V single-phase systems, where it can be installed at the service entrance to shield entire facilities or placed closer to sensitive loads to provide targeted protection. Mersen’s decades of expertise in electrical protection—spanning over a century—positions the company as a leader in the field, with products trusted by utilities, industrial operators, and OEMs worldwide. The XR Series is no exception, combining Mersen’s engineering rigor with field-proven reliability to safeguard investments in critical infrastructure. Installation is straightforward, thanks to the XR Series’ flexible mounting options and clear labeling. Professionals can choose between line-side or load-side installation, depending on the application’s needs, while the remote indicator simplifies compliance with maintenance protocols. For systems where uptime is paramount, the XR Series reduces the likelihood of equipment damage from surges, minimizing costly repairs and operational disruptions. Its compact form factor also simplifies retrofitting into existing systems, making it a practical upgrade for facilities looking to enhance their surge protection strategy without major infrastructure changes. Mersen’s commitment to innovation and safety is evident in every aspect of the XR Series. By prioritizing thermal protection, durability, and ease of monitoring, the company addresses the most common pain points in surge protection—such as nuisance tripping, premature failure, and lack of visibility into SPD health. Whether you’re protecting a single control panel or an entire industrial complex, the Surge-Trap® XR Series delivers the performance, reliability, and peace of mind that professionals demand. Trust Mersen to safeguard your electrical systems with a product that meets the highest standards of safety and performance.
