Overview

The Mersen Surge-Trap® STXT Series, SKU STXT480S10A, is a Type 1 Surge Protective Device (SPD) engineered for 480/240 VAC industrial applications. This device delivers a surge current capacity of 100 kA per phase, ensuring robust protection against transient voltage spikes and lightning strikes. It integrates standard EMI/RFI filtering to attenuate electrical noise by up to -50dB from 10kHz to 100MHz, safeguarding sensitive equipment from harmonic distortion and interference. Designed with Mersen’s proprietary TPMOV® technology, the STXT480S10A eliminates the need for separate overcurrent protection, simplifying installation and reducing system complexity. The device supports line or load side mounting, making it adaptable for service entrances, distribution panels, and branch circuits. Each phase features an LED indicator for real-time status monitoring, with green illumination confirming functionality and an 'OUT' display signaling replacement needs.
  • Type 1 SPD rated for 480/240 VAC systems with 100kA surge capacity per phase
  • Integrated EMI/RFI filtering attenuates noise by up to -50dB (10kHz–100MHz)
  • TPMOV® technology eliminates need for separate overcurrent protection
  • LED indicators per phase for real-time status monitoring (green = functional, OUT = replace)
  • Optional Form C dry contacts and audible alarm with silence button for remote monitoring
  • NEMA 4X non-metallic enclosure for corrosion resistance and harsh environments
  • Supports line or load side mounting for service entrances, distribution panels, and branch circuits
  • Operating temperature range: -40°C to +85°C; SCCR rated at 200kA
