Schenker | Surge Arrestor 60kA, 1-4 Pole, 275V

The Schenker BY15-60 Surge Arrestor is a mini rail surge protection device rated at 60kA, the highest discharge rating in the Schenker BY15 range. It is designed to protect electrical installations, distribution boards and connected equipment from severe transient overvoltage caused by lightning strikes and major switching surges. It includes a visual indication window so installers and maintenance teams can check protection status at a glance. Available in 1, 2, 3 and 4 pole configurations at 275V, it is a high-capacity choice for boards with a greater lightning exposure risk.

• Application: Surge protection for distribution boards with higher lightning exposure, 275V
• Key specification: 60kA maximum discharge current (Imax) — the highest rating in the Schenker BY15 range
• Configuration: Available in 1, 2, 3 and 4 pole versions
• Status indicator: Indication window shows device status
• Mounting: Mini rail (DIN rail) installation

Key Features

• 60kA maximum discharge current (Imax) — the highest capacity in the Schenker BY15 series, suited to higher lightning risk locations
• Indication window lets installers check device status without removing it from the rail
• Compact mini rail mounting despite the high discharge capacity
• Full range of pole configurations (1-4P) to match single-phase or three-phase boards

Typical Applications

• Farm, rural and elevated property protection with higher lightning exposure
• Main distribution board protection for commercial and industrial sites
• Protection ahead of downstream lower-kA SPDs as part of a coordinated (cascaded) surge protection scheme
• Protection of sensitive electronic and control equipment against transient overvoltage
• Upgrading boards from a 10-40kA to a 60kA SPD for greater surge exposure risk

Technical Specifications

What's Included

• 1 x Schenker BY15-60 Surge Arrestor (pole configuration as selected)

Please note: DIN rail, distribution board wiring, circuit breakers and installation accessories are not included unless specifically listed above.

Installation & Compatibility Notes

• Confirm your system voltage (275V) before ordering.
• Select the pole configuration (1P, 2P, 3P or 4P) that matches your distribution board and phase configuration.
• For sites with severe lightning exposure, consider a coordinated scheme with a downstream lower-kA SPD closer to sensitive equipment — contact Zisabo for guidance.
• Installation should be carried out by a suitably qualified electrician in line with local wiring regulations.
• Check the indication window periodically to confirm the device is still functional.
