2838885 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Phoenix Contact 2838885 is a base element designed for Type 2 surge arresters within the VALVETRAB MS product series. This specific version is intended for 3-phase power supply systems where Neutral (N) and Protective Earth (PE) conductors are installed separately.

 

Constructed with PBT/PA housing material and rated V0 for flammability according to UL 94, this DIN rail module offers a degree of protection of IP20. It features a two-section, divisible design and mounts onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail. The module has 4 positions and operates within an ambient temperature range of -40 °C to 80 °C.

 

Electrically, it supports an arrester rated voltage of 600 V AC (L-L), 350 V AC (L-N), and 350 V AC (N-PE). The maximum required backup fuse is 125 A (gL/gG), and it has a short-circuit resistance of 25 kA. Connections are made via screw terminals (Biconnect) with an M5 thread, supporting conductor cross-sections from 0.5 mm² to 35 mm² (solid) or 25 mm² (stranded).

 

This component complies with standards such as IEC 61643-1 and EN 61643-11. It has been WEEE/RoHS-compliant since January 31, 2006.
