FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this surge protector?

Its primary purpose is to protect three-phase electrical systems (3P+N) from damage caused by transient overvoltages, such as those from lightning strikes or switching operations.

What types of surge protection does this device offer?

It offers combined Type 1 and Type 2 surge protection, meaning it can handle both external surges (like lightning) and internal surges (from equipment switching).

Can I install this myself?

Installation should only be performed by a qualified electrician. Working with electrical systems can be dangerous and requires specialized knowledge and tools.

What system configurations is this device compatible with?

It is designed for three-phase systems with a neutral (3P+N) and is compatible with TN-S and TT system configurations.

How do I know if the surge protector is working correctly?

The device has an optic (visual) indicator that shows its operational status. It also features a remote signalling contact for monitoring system status.

What is the maximum continuous voltage this device can handle?

The maximum continuous operating voltage (AC) for this device is 275V.

What is the discharge current capacity?

It has a nominal discharge current of 12.5kA (10/350 µs) and a maximum surge capacity of 80kA.

Troubleshooting

Device status indicator shows fault

The surge protector may have operated due to a surge event and needs replacement. Consult a qualified electrician for inspection and replacement.

Remote signalling not functioning

Check the wiring of the auxiliary contact to the monitoring system. Ensure the system is configured to receive the signal. Verify the surge protector is operational.

Overheating of the device

This is unusual and indicates a potential issue. Immediately disconnect power and have the device and system wiring inspected by a qualified electrician.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides robust protection against both lightning and switching surges.
  • Enhances the lifespan and reliability of connected electrical equipment.
  • Remote signaling capability allows for proactive system monitoring.
  • High surge current handling capacity ensures safety during extreme events.
  • Designed for compatibility with common three-phase system configurations.

Cons

  • Requires professional installation due to electrical system integration.
  • Primary function is protection, not power conditioning.
  • May require space within an existing electrical panel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This device is designed for mounting on a standard 35mm DIN rail within an electrical enclosure. Connections should be made using appropriate conductors (up to 35mm² solid or 25mm² fine-strand). It is crucial that installation is performed by a qualified electrician according to local electrical codes and standards. Ensure the device is correctly wired to the three-phase lines and neutral.

Compatibility: The OVR T1-T2 3N 12.5-275s P TS QS is suitable for three-phase systems with neutral (3P+N) using TN-S or TT system configurations. Ensure the maximum continuous operating voltage of the system does not exceed 275V AC.

Care: The surge protector is largely maintenance-free. Regular visual inspection of the status indicator on the device is recommended. If the indicator shows a fault, the device may need replacement. Cleaning should only be done with a dry or slightly damp cloth, ensuring no moisture enters the device or connections.
