The Schneider Electric A9L16664 is an Acti9 iPRD Type 2 surge arrester in a 4-pole (4P) configuration, designed for 230/400 V AC TN-C earthing systems. It handles a maximum discharge current of 40 kA per mode (L/PE and N/PE) and a nominal discharge current of 15 kA per mode, with a total discharge capacity of 160 kA. The MOV-based pluggable cartridge design means you can replace the protection element without pulling the whole unit off the DIN rail — useful for panel uptime.
Clip-on DIN rail mounting — standard for distribution boards. Depth is 69 mm, so it clears most shallow enclosures. Tunnel-type terminals accept 2.5 to 35 mm² on both top and bottom, and the tightening torque is 2.5 N·m. Eight 9 mm pitches for the remote signalling connector.
Protection and compliance
Type 2 surge arrester per EN 61643-11 and IEC 61643-11. Protection level Up is <1.4 kV in common mode. Maximum continuous operating voltage Uc is 340 V per mode. The remote signalling contact (1 C/O) is rated 0.25 A / 250 V AC. Quality labels include NF, KEMA-KEUR, and OVE. IK03 impact rating per IEC 62262.
