III. Replacement Models and Compatibility Instructions
- Intra-series Replacement
A9L065300 (3PAG) can be replaced with A9L065401 (3P+N with remote signalling) to adapt to system upgrade to TN-S type.
A9L065600 (3P+N) can be replaced with A9L065402 (4P with remote signalling) to improve protection comprehensiveness.
- Cross-series Replacement
The iPRU 65 Series is functionally compatible with the iPRD 65 Serie (such as A9L65601), and the iPRD Series is more focused on IT system adaptation.
For higher protection level (Imax=80kA), the iPF K 80 Serie (such as A9L15586) puede ser considerado.
- Installation Compatibility
All iPRU Series products are installed on standard 35mm DIN rails, and no cabinet structure modification is required during replacement.
The remote signalling (r-type) models need to reserve a DC 24V power interface for status signal transmission.
- Supplementary Installation and Maintenance Points
- Front-end Protection: All models need to be connected with a 10–16A circuit breaker or fuse in series to prevent short-circuit caused by SPD faults.
- Cable Requirements: The length of connecting cables should be ≤50cm to reduce the impact of line impedance on protection performance.
- Indicación de estado: White window means normal operation; red window means module failure and needs replacement.
- Remote Signalling Function: The r-type models provide normally open/normally closed contacts, which can be connected to PLC or monitoring systems to achieve remote early warning.
The iPRU 65 Series meets the surge protection needs of different three-phase power distribution systems through modular pluggable design and graded protection configuration. During selection, priority should be given to matching the system type (3P/3P+N/4P) and monitoring requirements (with or without remote signalling), and selecting the appropriate discharge current specification according to the risk level to ensure the safe operation of electrical equipment.
