Phoenix VAL-SEC-T2-3S-350 TN-S Type 2 prepäťová ochrana 3-fázová+N 350V AC 40kA DIN lišta

The Phoenix VAL-SEC-T2-3S-350 stands apart from generic surge arresters by combining a robust 3-phase + neutral (TN-S) configuration with a high 40 kA maximum discharge capacity and a low voltage protection level of ≤1.5 kV. This Type 2 device is engineered for main distribution boards where reliable protection of sensitive electronics against transient overvoltages is non-negotiable. Its floating changeover contact enables remote monitoring, making it a practical choice for industrial and commercial installations that demand both performance and oversight.

Highlights

• Type 2 surge protection per IEC/EN 61643-11 for TN-S systems
• Nominal discharge current (In) of 20 kA, maximum discharge current (Imax) of 40 kA (8/20 µs)
• Voltage protection level (Up) ≤ 1.5 kV for effective equipment safeguarding
• Fast response time ≤ 25 ns to clamp surges almost instantly
• Optical status indication (green/red) and remote signaling via floating changeover contact
• DIN rail mounting with screw connections for solid or flexible conductors up to 35 mm² / 25 mm²
• Wide operating temperature range from -40 °C to 80 °C

In daily use

Installed on a standard 35 mm DIN rail, this surge arrester integrates seamlessly into distribution panels. The screw terminals accept large conductor cross-sections, reducing installation effort and ensuring secure connections even in high-current paths. The clear optical indicator allows quick visual checks, while the remote signaling contact can be wired to a building management system for centralized monitoring. With its IP20 housing and durable PA 6.6-FR material, it is suited for indoor electrical enclosures where space and reliability matter.
