Product details

The Schneider Electric A9L16599 is an Acti9 iPRD20r Type 2 surge arrester — a 4-pole MOV-based unit rated for 230/400 V AC IT earthing systems, with a maximum discharge current of 20 kA per mode (L/PE, N/PE) and a nominal discharge current of 5 kA. The pluggable cartridge design allows replacement without disturbing the wiring.

Mounts via clip-on to a DIN rail. The tunnel-type terminals accept 2.5 to 35 mm² conductors on both the line and load sides. Tightening torque is 2.5 N·m. The unit occupies 8 modular pitches (9 mm each), so it needs 72 mm of DIN rail space. The white (RAL 9003) housing carries an IK03 impact rating per IEC 62262, suitable for enclosed panel installation.

Designed for electrical distribution networks in IT earthing systems. The voltage protection level (Up) is under 1.5 kV in common mode, and the maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc) is 460 V per mode. Complies with EN 61643-11 and IEC 61643-11 standards.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy A9L16599 and how do I get a price?

The A9L16599 is sourced to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — confirmed at quote time.

What is the closest alternative to A9L16599?

No official successor order code is listed. For a replacement, search for a Type 2, 4-pole, 460 V MOV surge arrester with remote signalling and pluggable cartridges in the Acti9 iPRD family. Verify DIN rail footprint and terminal size compatibility.

What are the key specifications of A9L16599?

Key specs: Type 2 surge arrester, 4 poles, 230/400 V AC, 20 kA max discharge current (L/PE, N/PE), 5 kA nominal, 460 V Uc, Up <1.5 kV, remote signalling contact, DIN rail mount, 72 mm wide (8 pitches).
