Solar Surge Protection Devices

Photovoltaic Application Surge Protection. Protection of Cells & Inverters DC Side. The dc-voltage photovoltaic systems up to 3.2 kV and is also available for the other common voltage in small-scale photovoltaic systems and power systems (500 to 1000 Vdc). The rail-mountable components protect both insulated and solidly grounded systems.

Surge Protection for Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System The Surge Protection are designed to protect against lightning surge voltages in photovoltaic power supply networks. These units must be installed in parallel on the DC networks to be protected and provide common and differential modes protection. The OBV5-C40 series is available for the main operating voltages in photovoltaic: 1000 Vdc.

The use of Photo voltaic Surge Protection is recommended at both ends of the DC power supply line (solar panel side and inverter/converter side), especially if the line routing is external and long.

Technical Details

The dc-voltage photovoltaic systems up to 3.2 kV and is also available for the other common voltage in small-scale photovoltaic systems and power systems (500 to 1000 Vdc). The rail-mountable components protect both insulated and solidly grounded systems.
