The KPB385-20 Series brings essential surge protection to the final stage of electrical distribution. As a Type 3 (Class III) SPD, it is engineered to safeguard sensitive electronic devices from low-energy transients and residual surges that originate from internal switching or external lightning events.
Rated for 20 kA (8/20 μs), this compact surge protector is designed for local installation—directly in equipment cabinets, control boxes, or downstream panels—where fast, localized response is critical. It effectively suppresses high-frequency voltage spikes before they reach vulnerable components like sensors, relays, meters, and communication modules.
Its modular, DIN-rail-mountable design ensures simple integration into existing setups, minimizing installation time and panel space. The built-in thermal disconnect mechanism activates automatically under failure conditions, enhancing fire safety and system reliability.
