Efficient lightning and surge protection is essential to ensure system availability in buildings, industrial operations and power generation plants. The components protect increasingly sensitive infrastructures from costly failures.

The VARITECTOR PU AC BS60 protects electronic components and devices in larger distribution cabinets and is snapped tool-free onto the 60 mm busbar systems. The pluggable lightning and surge protection devices type I+II+III and type II+III are tested in accordance with the valid IEC/EN 61643-11 and are used in the common TN-C, TN-S and TT network types. The components are available as a leakage current-free version or as a version with an integrated fuse.

The benefits at a glance

Space-saving design

Space-saving design

The VPU AC BS60 is snapped onto the 60 mm busbar without tools and is extremely compact with a width of just 36 mm.

Flexible use

Flexible use

Both type I and type II arresters are available for the common TN-C, TN-S and TT network types.

Reliable protection

Reliable protection

The surge protection device improves the voltage level and provides optimum electrical protection for the system.

Can be used with a variety of busbar widths and thickness

Thanks to a locking mechanism and a removable adapter, different busbar widths and thicknesses can be used.

  • Removable adapter for 5 mm and 10 mm thick busbars
  • Locking mechanism for the use of busbars of different widths

High ease of maintenance

The pluggable arresters enable quick, easy and safe replacement in the event of maintenance. The devices also have a clearly visible status window and a pluggable remote signaling contact for reporting errors to the higher-level controller.

  • Pluggable arresters for quick and safe replacement
  • Simple snap-on to 60 mm busbar systems
  • Shorter wiring time and minimized complexity

Product highlight

VPU AC TYPE II BS60 with integrated fuse

Especially with higher currents, no additional NH back-up fuse is required before the surge protection device. Additional installation space, installation effort and costs are saved thanks to the VPU AC II BS60 F.
