Overview
The Surge Pure M5-1600-3 is a primary-level surge protective device intended for service entrances and main distribution panels. Designed to protect 3-phase electrical systems utilizing a Delta connection and a nominal AC line voltage of 600 VRMS, this unit can be deployed in systems with a maximum service size of 2500 A. Integrating this unit into a complete system allows for a robust protection grid through cascading surge defense.
In plain terms, the M5-1600-3 functions to isolate sensitive equipment from both external utility hazards, including lightning-induced transients, and significant internal surges. It features a Total Surge Capacity of 1000 kA (at 8x20 µsec pulse) and a Max SE* Surge Current of 80/350 kA per mode/per phase. Protection is provided through Single Element SE* Protection Modes in the L-L configuration.
For install fit, the Surge Pure M5-1600-3 is housed in an indoor/outdoor (NEMA 4X) enclosure, signifying dust, drip, hosedown, and corrosion proof capability. The unit features 36" #8 AWG Stranded Copper: 3+G leads for connection. Overcurrent Protection is specified as: Type 1 & Type 2, no breaker required / for fast easy panel installations, use 40 amp breaker - CODE RULE 26-420 (2). Always follow local electrical code and use a qualified electrician where required.
Before choosing this model, verify that your system is a 3∅ Delta AC service with a nominal line voltage of 600 VRMS and 50/60 Hz frequency. Key performance metrics include the UL 1449, 5th Ed VPR Rating L-N/L-L @ 20kA, In: 1800, and the Max Continuous Operating Voltage (MCOV) of 680. The device is c-ETL-us Listed and Certified to the latest UL 1449, 5th Edition / CSA C22.2 - no. 269, ensuring full compliance and safety standards. Protection status is confirmed via the Lifetime Green LED Self Test 'Protection Status Monitors' For Each Phase.
