Product details

It handles a nominal discharge current of 20 kA (L/PE) and a maximum discharge current of 65 kA (L/PE), with a protection level under 2 kV. The unit is designed for distribution panels and clips onto a DIN rail, occupying 6 modular pitches (54 mm wide).

This part is officially obsolete per the manufacturer. There is no listed direct successor order code, so replacement requires a parametric cross-reference against current Acti9 iPRD variants.

The 460 V continuous operating voltage (Uc) means this arrester stays connected on 400 V networks with up to +10% tolerance without degrading the MOV elements. The Type 2 classification (IEC 61643-11) confirms it is intended for main distribution board installation, clamping surge currents from switching events or indirect lightning strikes — not for direct-strike primary protection. The remote signalling contact (1 C/O, rated 0.25 A / 250 V AC) allows the panel PLC or building management system to monitor cartridge end-of-life without a visual inspection.

Clip-on DIN rail mounting, 54 mm wide (6 x 9 mm pitches), 81 mm tall, 69 mm deep. Tunnel-type terminals accept 2.5 to 35 mm² conductors on both top and bottom. The associated circuit breaker options (IC60N, iC60H, NG125N/H/L — all 50 A curve C) define the upstream overcurrent protection; coordination between arrester and breaker is already validated by Schneider for those combinations.
