Chint NU6-II G40/440-3P/20KA Surge Protective Device (SPD)

Chint NU6-II G40/440-3P/20KA is a Class II Test Surge Protective Device (SPD) primarily designed for lightning protection and transient overvoltage protection in three-phase power distribution systems. It features a maximum discharge current of 40kA, a nominal discharge current of 20kA, a continuous operating voltage of 440V, a 3-pole configuration, and a voltage protection level of 2.0kV. This device complies with the standards of GB/T 18802.11 e CEI 61643-11, and has obtained certifications such as CQC and CE.

Core Specifications

Functions and Applications

Core Functions: Discharges transient energy such as lightning strikes and operational overvoltages, suppresses overvoltages, and protects downstream power distribution equipment and loads from damage caused by electrical surges.

Applicazioni tipiche: Lightning protection at the power supply input of three-phase power distribution incoming cabinets, floor distribution boxes, UPS front ends, frequency converters/servo drives, and other industrial control equipment. It can be used in combination with upstream Class I SPDs and downstream Class III SPDs to establish a cascaded protection system.

Selection and Installation Guidelines

1. Scenari applicativi: Suitable for three-phase 380V power distribution systems, especially occasions with significant line voltage fluctuations and a demand for higher Uc, such as industrial power grids and outdoor distribution boxes.
2. Backup Protection: It is recommended to equip with a Type C or Type D circuit breaker/fuse rated at 16-25A to prevent short circuits caused by SPD failures.
3. Requisiti di cablaggio: The cross-sectional area of connecting wires should be ≤16mm². The length of phase wires and ground wires should be as short as possible (≤0.5m) to reduce the impact of line impedance on protection performance.
4. Mounting Method: 35mm standard DIN rail mounting, occupying 3 modular positions (approximately 54mm in width).

Price Reference and Procurement Tips

The retail price is approximately 180-280 RMB per unità (as of December 2025, excluding tax and installation costs). Per acquisti in blocco (≥10 units), the price can drop to 150-220 RMB per unità. Models with remote alarm (Type F) have a price increase of 10-15%.

Procurement Channels: Chint Electric Mall and authorized distributors. It is crucial to verify the model suffix and certification marks to avoid non-standard or refurbished products.
