Where These Devices Install

Solar PV combiner boxes, DC distribution cabinets and inverter DC inputs. Protects PV strings and inverters from lightning-induced and switching surges.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

PV strings run long exposed conductors that pick up lightning-induced surges. A DC SPD protects the inverter and DC equipment from damage.
DC SPDs are designed for the continuous DC voltage of PV strings and use DC-rated MOVs, unlike AC SPDs.
The SPD can safely divert a maximum surge current of 40kA once, with 20kA nominal for repeated surges.
It mounts on a 35mm DIN rail inside the combiner box or DC cabinet.
