Eltako MUA-100 Protector modular contra sobretensiones tipo 1+2+3, 4 polos, 12,5 kA de corriente de impulso, carril DIN

With a total impulse current of 50 kA (10/350 µs) and a voltage protection level below 1.5 kV, the Eltako MUA-100 delivers uncompromising defense against transient overvoltages for low-voltage power distribution systems. This modular surge arrester combines Type 1, 2, and 3 protection in a single 4-pole unit, making it ideal for installations where space and reliability are critical.

Overview

The Eltako MUA-100 (model 28380000) is a combined lightning and surge arrester designed for TN-S, TT, and TN-C network systems. It provides robust protection for 230/400 V AC installations, with a nominal discharge current of 20 kA (8/20 µs) per pole and an impulse current of 12.5 kA (10/350 µs) per pole. The device is engineered for DIN rail mounting (35 mm), occupying only 4 TE (72 mm) of width, and features visual status indication for quick fault detection.
