STXT06S2004XA

The **Mersen Surge-Trap® Type 1 XT Series (SKU: STXT06S2004XA)** represents the pinnacle of surge protective device (SPD) technology, engineered to safeguard critical industrial and commercial electrical systems from transient overvoltages. Designed for **240V, 3-phase Delta systems**, this Type 1 SPD delivers unparalleled protection with a **200kA surge rating** and integrated alarm functionality, ensuring both performance and peace of mind. Built with **TPMOV® (Thermal Protected Metal Oxide Varistor) technology**, the XT Series eliminates the risk of catastrophic failure—even under extreme surge conditions—by automatically disconnecting faulty varistors to prevent fire hazards and equipment damage. This advanced thermal protection mechanism sets Mersen’s solution apart from conventional SPDs, which often lack such safeguards, making the XT Series the **safest choice** for mission-critical applications. **Key Features and Benefits:** - **TPMOV® Technology**: Industry-leading thermal protection ensures fail-safe operation, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Unlike standard varistor-based SPDs, TPMOV® technology actively monitors and disconnects compromised components, eliminating the risk of fire or explosion. - **200kA Surge Rating**: With a **200kA maximum surge current rating**, the XT Series provides robust protection against lightning strikes, switching transients, and other high-energy events, making it ideal for service entrances, distribution panels, and branch circuits in demanding environments. - **Flexible Installation Options**: The XT Series supports **line-side or load-side installation**, offering unmatched versatility for new constructions, retrofits, or system upgrades. This flexibility simplifies integration into existing infrastructure, whether at the service entrance or downstream in distribution panels. - **Integrated Alarm System**: A built-in alarm provides real-time notifications of surge events or SPD degradation, enabling proactive maintenance and minimizing unplanned downtime. This feature is particularly valuable in facilities where continuous operation is critical, such as data centers, manufacturing plants, or healthcare facilities. - **Durable and Reliable Design**: Engineered for harsh industrial conditions, the XT Series features a rugged enclosure and high-quality components that withstand temperature extremes, vibration, and electrical stress. Mersen’s commitment to durability ensures long-term performance and reduced total cost of ownership. **Typical Applications and Industries:** The **Surge-Trap® XT Series** is purpose-built for environments where electrical reliability is non-negotiable. Common applications include: - **Service Entrances**: Protecting entire facilities from external surges, such as those caused by lightning or utility grid disturbances. - **Distribution Panels**: Safeguarding downstream equipment, including motors, drives, and control systems, from transient overvoltages. - **Branch Circuits**: Providing localized protection for sensitive electronics, such as PLCs, CNC machines, and variable frequency drives (VFDs). - **Renewable Energy Systems**: Shielding solar inverters, wind turbine controllers, and battery storage systems from grid-induced surges. - **Healthcare and Data Centers**: Ensuring uninterrupted power quality for life-saving equipment and IT infrastructure. **Why Choose Mersen?** With over **100 years of expertise** in electrical protection, Mersen is a globally trusted name in surge suppression, short-circuit protection, and heat management solutions.
