The Schneider Electric A9L15595 is an Acti9 iPF8 Type 2+3 surge arrester — a 2-pole (2P) MOV device rated for 230 V AC (+/- 10 %) at 50/60 Hz, with a maximum continuous operating voltage of 340 V common mode on L/PE and N/PE. The white (RAL 9003) housing is 81.4 mm tall and 69 mm deep.
Type 2+3 classification per EN 61643-11 and IEC 61643-11 means this arrester handles both main distribution board surge currents (Type 2, nominal 2.5 kA per mode) and equipment-level clamping (Type 3, open-circuit voltage 10 kV). The nominal discharge current is 2.5 kA common mode on L/PE and N/PE; the maximum single-shot discharge is 8 kA per mode, with a total discharge current of 15 kA. The voltage protection level stays under 1.1 kV on the Type 3 N/PE path — that's the let-through voltage the downstream gear sees. For a TN-C earthing system, the 2-pole configuration covers L and N to PE.
Mounts via clip-on DIN rail. Tunnel-type terminals top and bottom accept 2.5 to 35 mm² conductors; tighten to 2.5 N·m. Schneider specifies an associated circuit breaker — iC60N, iC60H, or iC60L, all 20 A curve C — to provide overcurrent backup and disconnection. The IK03 impact rating (IEC 62262) means it resists 0.35 J impacts, adequate for enclosed panel use. Relative humidity tolerance is 5 to 90 %.
Certified to EN 61643-11 and IEC 61643-11. Quality labels include OVE, KEMA-KEUR, and NF. The part carries no remote signalling contacts. No RoHS or REACH declaration is in this listing; request the manufacturer's declaration with the RFQ.
