This Type 2 solar PV surge arrester is specifically designed to protect DC-powered equipment against lightning surge voltages in photovoltaic power supply networks. Ideal for protecting inverters, combiner boxes, and charge controllers in solar energy systems.
Device complies with PV standard EN50539-11 and utilizes high-energy metal oxide varistors (MOV) for superior surge protection performance.
Important Safety Notes:
- Installation must be performed only by electrically skilled operators
- Always disconnect power before installation - no hot-line operation permitted
- Mount protector in parallel with the equipment being protected, as close as possible
- For outdoor installations, use a suitable weatherproof enclosure
- Status indicator: Green = normal operation, Red = failure (requires immediate replacement)
Solar modules are regularly exposed to lightning strikes and overvoltages. Unprotected PV systems can suffer repeated and significant damage to key components, resulting in system downtime and revenue loss. Comprehensive surge protection is highly recommended for PV modules, DC cabling, inverters, AC cabling, and monitoring systems to mitigate the damaging effects of lightning and surges.
