AC surge arrester for low-voltage distribution — Class B+C / Type 1+2 (I+II), 3P+N for TT networks at the LPZ 0–1 boundary. High-energy MOV cores with thermo-dynamic disconnector, fault window and remote signalling.
OSPD 404 is ORBITAL's catalogue designation for a Type 1+2 / Class I+II (B+C) surge arrester in 3P+N form for TT low-voltage networks. It is intended for the LPZ 0–1 lightning protection zone boundary — where direct or very high-energy surge threats must be clipped before energy propagates into internal installation zones.
Published protection modes cover L1, L2, L3–N and N–PE. The design uses high discharge-capacity metal oxide varistor (MOV) cores with a thermo-dynamic control disconnector, mechanical status window (green: OK · red: replace) and remote signalling for supervisory integration.
Technical documentation: Electrical architecture follows IEC/EN 61643-11 Type 1+2 (Class I+II) practice for this 3P+N TT topology. Dimension, wiring and parameter tables on this page reflect our approved datasheet; CAD-ready excerpts ship with quotations on request.
