Transient and permanent surge protector IGA Resi9 Combi 1P+N 40 A

The Schneider Electric Resi9 Combi 1P+N 40 A surge protector (reference R9L20640) is an advanced protection device that integrates multiple functionalities to ensure the safety of electrical installations in residential and commercial environments. This model is capable of protecting against short circuits and overloads as well as transient overvoltages (caused by lightning or network maneuvers) and permanent overvoltages, making it a comprehensive solution for protecting sensitive electrical and electronic equipment.

Main features:

• Combined protection: The Resi9 Combi offers protection against short circuits and overloads, ensuring that electrical circuits do not suffer damage due to excessive currents. Additionally, it protects against transient overvoltages (for example, electrical discharges or network maneuvers) and permanent overvoltages (due to failures in the electrical distribution network). This makes it a versatile and complete device that protects the entire electrical installation from the harmful effects of these events.

• Automatic tripping unit: This device includes an automatic tripping unit that disconnects the power supply automatically when it detects a permanent overvoltage, ensuring the safety of connected equipment. This function is essential to prevent damage to appliances, computers, televisions, and other electronic devices in the event of an unexpected voltage increase.

• Ideal for electric vehicle charging points and solar panels: Surge protection for both permanent and transient overvoltages is mandatory in many cases, especially in installations of electric vehicle charging points and solar panel systems. The Resi9 Combi meets these requirements, offering complete protection for new sustainable energy installations.

Technical specifications:

• Rated current: 40 A, making it suitable for a wide range of residential and commercial electrical installations.
• Number of poles: The device has a 1P+N configuration, meaning it protects both the phase and the neutral, providing complete protection for the electrical system.
• Breaking capacity: The switch has a breaking capacity of 6000 A according to the EN/IEC 60898-1 standard, ensuring it can safely handle short circuit situations without compromising the electrical installation.
• C type tripping curve: The device is designed with a C type tripping curve, suitable for applications where there are moderate inductive loads, such as motors or transformers.

Advanced functionalities:

• Fast response time: In the event of a transient overvoltage, the device acts in less than 25 nanoseconds, minimizing the exposure time of equipment to dangerous voltage spikes and ensuring immediate protection.

• Mechanical and electrical durability: The Resi9 Combi is designed to withstand up to 20,000 mechanical cycles and 10,000 electrical cycles, ensuring a long lifespan and reliable operation in any installation.

• DIN rail mounting: This device is designed for easy mounting on a standard DIN rail, facilitating its integration into electrical distribution panels.

Connectivity and safety:

• Connections: The device's connections are designed to handle rigid cables from 1.5 to 25 mm² and flexible cables up to 16 mm², ensuring a secure and reliable connection. Additionally, the tunnel-type terminals allow for a torque of up to 3.5 N.m, ensuring a firm and stable connection.

• Regulations and certifications: The Resi9 Combi complies with the EN/IEC 60898-1 regulations and is certified by CE and AENOR, ensuring its safety and compliance with international standards. It also has quality labels certifying its robustness and reliability in any installation.

Applications and benefits:

• Protection for residential and commercial environments: This device is ideal for installation in homes, offices, and small businesses, where it is essential to protect both electrical systems and connected equipment from potential electrical failures or overvoltages caused by external factors.

• Protection of sensitive electronic devices: The Resi9 Combi is specially designed to protect sensitive electronic devices such as computers, televisions, modems, and high-fidelity equipment, ensuring that these devices do not suffer damage due to fluctuations in the electrical network.

• Improved energy efficiency and safety: By combining multiple functionalities into a single device, this switch enhances the self-protection of circuits, which means reduced costs and complexity of installation. Additionally, the integration of overload and surge protections in a single device ensures greater efficiency and safety throughout the installation.
