DEHN DSH TNS 255 FM kombinovaná prepäťová ochrana Typ 1+2 pre TN-S systémy (941405)

The DEHN DSH TNS 255 FM is a combined Type 1+2 surge protective device specifically optimized for TN-S earthing systems. Unlike generic arresters, it integrates lightning current and surge protection in a single 4-pole unit, providing a compact solution for main distribution boards where space and performance are critical.

Highlights

• Combined Type 1+2 protection per IEC/EN 61643-11
• Designed for TN-S systems with 230/400 V AC nominal voltage
• High discharge capacity: 7 kA (10/350 µs) per pole, 28 kA total
• Low voltage protection level ≤ 1.5 kV
• Integrated floating changeover contact for remote signaling
• Thermoplastic enclosure, red, UL 94 V-0, IP20

In daily use

Installed on a 35 mm DIN rail, this arrester offers reliable protection against transient overvoltages. Its follow current extinguishing capability of 50 kA rms and short-circuit withstand of 50 kA rms (with 160 A gG backup fuse) ensure safe operation even under fault conditions. The remote signaling contact allows integration into building management systems for status monitoring.
