PV Surge Protection Device Class II 1000V 2-Pole | GAVE Electro

This GAVE Electro surge protection device gives 2-pole overvoltage protection for solar PV strings rated up to 1000VDC. Fitted in parallel with the DC cables of the solar string, it protects panels and inverters from indirect lightning strikes and conducted overvoltages. It mounts on a DIN rail for straightforward fitting inside a combiner box.

Key features of this dc surge protection device

• Type, Class II / Type 2 SPD for DC PV applications
• Maximum voltage, 1000VDC
• Poles, 2-pole, for positive and negative PV conductors
• Installation method, parallel connection with DC string cables
• Protection element, high energy varistor
• Mounting, DIN rail, for combiner box installation

Applications

Use this pv protection box to guard solar PV strings against lightning and conducted surges. It suits DC combiner boxes in residential and commercial PV systems where string cables need overvoltage protection ahead of the inverter.

Installation notes

Connect the device in parallel with the DC positive and negative conductors of the PV string. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician and comply with IET Wiring Regulations.
