Phoenix DPRO 230 NT Surge Protector

Introducing the Phoenix DPRO 230 NT Surge Protector

The Phoenix DPRO 230 NT is a high‑performance surge protector designed to safeguard sensitive electronic equipment from voltage spikes and transient surges. Engineered with robust protection circuitry, it delivers reliable performance for both residential and commercial installations.

Key Technical Specifications

• Nominal Current: 16 A – suitable for standard household circuits.
• Input Voltage: 230 V AC, 50–60 Hz – compatible with European mains supply.
• Socket Type: EF (French) plug combined with a CEE 7/7 protection contact – ensures secure connection and easy integration into existing outlets.
• Surge Protection Rating: 3 kA peak current, 1.5 kV surge voltage tolerance.
• Response Time: < 10 µs – rapid interruption of harmful surges.

Design Features That Deliver Peace of Mind

The DPRO 230 NT incorporates a multi‑stage protection architecture. At the first stage, metal‑oxide varistors (MOVs) clamp transient voltages to safe levels. The second stage employs gas‑discharge tubes that activate only when surge energy exceeds the MOV threshold, preventing premature MOV degradation.

Its compact chassis is built from heat‑resistant ABS plastic, providing durability while maintaining a slim profile for unobtrusive installation in tight spaces.

Installation and Compatibility

• Plug Type: The EF plug allows direct insertion into French or European sockets without adapters. The integrated CEE 7/7 contact offers an additional safety layer, ensuring that the device remains grounded during a surge event.
• Mounting Options: Wall‑mountable via included screws or free‑standing on a flat surface; suitable for server rooms, home theaters, and office setups.
• Device Compatibility: Ideal for protecting computers, routers, televisions, audio equipment, and other sensitive electronics that rely on stable power delivery.

Why Choose the Phoenix DPRO 230 NT?

The combination of a high surge rating, rapid response time, and dual‑socket design makes this protector an excellent choice for environments where power quality is critical. Its robust construction ensures long‑term reliability, while the EF plug guarantees seamless integration across European markets.

Safety Standards and Certifications

The DPRO 230 NT complies with stringent European safety regulations, including CE marking and compliance with IEC 61010 for electrical safety in measurement, control, and laboratory equipment. Its design adheres to the latest standards for surge protection devices, ensuring that users receive a product that meets or exceeds industry expectations.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the device periodically for visible damage or wear on the plug and socket contacts.
• Avoid overloading by connecting only equipment within the 16 A rating.
• Replace the surge protector after a significant surge event, as MOVs may lose effectiveness over time.

Conclusion

The Phoenix DPRO 230 NT Surge Protector offers a comprehensive solution for protecting electronic gear from unpredictable power disturbances. With its robust construction, dual‑socket design, and proven surge suppression capabilities, it stands out as a dependable choice for anyone seeking to preserve the integrity of their valuable equipment.
