CHINT BAST240 electrical surge protector

CHINT (officially CHINT Group) is a leading global provider of smart energy solutions, originally founded in 1984 in Wenzhou, China. The company began as a small switch factory and has since evolved into a multinational giant specializing in low-voltage electrical apparatus, power transmission, and renewable energy technologies. The BAST240 product shown in the image is a specific model of an IGA (Interruptor General Automático) combined with permanent surge protection, designed for electrical safety in 230V single-phase installations.

While CHINT maintains its core manufacturing hub and headquarters in China, it has significantly expanded its global footprint. The company operates numerous smart factories worldwide, including facilities in Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Egypt. This 'Global-Local' strategy ensures that products are often manufactured or assembled close to their target markets. In the Spanish market, the brand operates through its local subsidiary, CHINT Electrics S.L., which has been active for over a decade providing certified electrical solutions for residential and industrial sectors.
