DEHN DEHNventil M2 TNC 255 FM pararrayos y protector contra sobretensiones combinado Type 1+2+3, 3 polos, 255 V AC, carril DIN de 35 mm

For TN-C power systems, the DEHNventil M2 TNC 255 FM merges Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 surge protection into a single compact module—no separate coordination needed. Its spark-gap-free design eliminates leakage current and ensures maintenance-free operation, while the integrated remote signaling contact keeps you informed of protection status. This 3-pole arrester handles direct lightning strikes and transient overvoltages with a high discharge capacity, making it ideal for service entrances and sub-distribution boards where space is limited but protection cannot be compromised.

Highlights

• Combined Type 1+2+3 surge protective device (SPD) per IEC 61643-11
• Designed specifically for TN-C network systems (3 poles, no neutral)
• High discharge capacity: 7 kA (10/350 µs) per pole, 21 kA total lightning impulse current
• Low voltage protection level ≤ 1.5 kV for sensitive equipment
• Potential-free changeover contact for remote monitoring (FM version)
• Compact 3-module width for 35 mm DIN rail mounting
• Thermoplastic enclosure in red, UL 94 V-0 flame retardant
• Follow current extinguishing capability up to 50 kA rms

In daily use

Installed at the service entrance or sub-distribution board, the DEHNventil M2 TNC 255 FM acts as the first line of defense. Its spark-gap-free technology ensures no leakage current and a long service life, even in harsh electrical environments. The remote signaling contact allows integration into building management systems for proactive monitoring, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
