Overview

The Mersen Surge-Trap® Type 1 STXT480D20 is a high-capacity surge protective device (SPD) designed for industrial and commercial power systems operating at 480V, 3-phase Delta. This unit delivers up to 200kA surge capacity per phase, providing robust protection against transient overvoltages for critical electrical equipment. The STXT480D20 integrates Mersen’s proprietary TPMOV® technology, which combines metal oxide varistors with internal fusing for enhanced safety and reliability without requiring additional overcurrent protection. Standard features include EMI/RFI filtering with up to -50dB attenuation from 10kHz to 100MHz, ensuring clean power delivery and reduced electromagnetic interference. Each phase includes LED status indicators (ON = Good, OFF = Replace) and phase loss indicators (ON = Operational, OFF = Maintenance Required) for immediate system monitoring. The unit supports flexible installation options, compatible with both line and load side connections, making it suitable for service entrances, distribution panels, and branch panels. Optional accessories include remote dry contacts and audible alarms for enhanced monitoring capabilities. With up to 10 modes of protection (L-N, L-L, L-G, N-G), the STXT480D20 is engineered to safeguard sensitive equipment from lightning-induced surges and switching transients in ANSI/UL Type 1 or 2 SPD installations.
