It responds in under 100 ns, clamping the voltage protection level to below 1.5 kV (common mode). The Type 1+2 classification means this cartridge handles both direct lightning strikes (Type 1, 10/350 µs waveform) and switching transients (Type 2, 8/20 µs) in a single unit — a common requirement for main distribution boards where the service entrance and sub-distribution protection are combined. The 100 kA nominal discharge current (In) is the rating for repeated surges; the 150 kA maximum (Imax) is the single-event survival limit. A 100 kA Iimp (Type 1 impulse current) confirms it can safely divert a direct lightning stroke's energy per IEC 61643-11. The <1.5 kV protection level (Up) means downstream equipment rated for 1.5 kV or higher is protected; if your load's impulse withstand (Uw) is lower, you need an additional Type 3 stage. The 305 V maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc) allows it to ride through normal grid fluctuations without degrading, and the 1200 V temporary overvoltage (Ut) withstand for 200 ms handles fault conditions on the N/PE path. ## Deployment context At 18 mm wide (2 x 9 mm pitches), it occupies a single modular space, leaving room for other protection or metering modules in the same row.","metaTitle":"A9L1C602 Acti9 iPRD1 C25r Surge Cartridge, Type 1+2, 100 kA","metaDescription":"A9L1C602 Acti9 iPRD1 C25r Type 1+2 surge cartridge, 100 kA nominal, <100 ns response.
