Key Considerations for Replacement Selection
- Parameter Matching Priority: Ensure the four core parameters Iimp, Imax, Uc, Up match system requirements, as they directly affect surge protection performance and equipment safety.
- Remote Function Compatibility: Verify remote contact type (dry/wet) and operating voltage (DC 24V / AC 230V) match the existing monitoring system.
- Installation Size: 4 modules (72mm) is standard for most brands, but confirm actual space.
- Earthing Compatibility: Ensure the model supports the on‑site earthing system (TN‑S / TT / TN‑C‑S).
- Price & Warranty: Chinese brands (CHINT, Delixi) are typically 20–40% lower, with 1–2 year warranty; international brands usually offer 2–5 years.
Selection Recommendations
Direct Replacement:
ABB OVR ZP T1-T2 3N 12.5-255, Siemens 5SD7414-2RC, Delixi CDYN-I+II 12.5/350 3P+N fully match Schneider A9L16482 and can be interchanged directly.
Performance Upgrade:
Choose CHINT NU5 series (Imax 65kA) or ABB OVR ZP+ series (Type 1+2+3) for higher protection level.
Cost Optimization:
Chinese brands (CHINT NXU, Delixi CDYE) significantly reduce cost while meeting basic protection needs.
