Surge Protective Devices SPD2 PV SERIES Class 2 (IEC)/Type 2 (EN)/Type 1CA (UL) Pluggable Multi-Pole for PV Systems Description Surge protective devices (SPDs) provide equipment protection from transient overvoltage events lasting micro-seconds. By Visual Life limiting the overvoltage to the equipment during these events, Indicator costly damage and downtime can be mitigated. The surge protective devices for solar string box and inverter applications are available in 1100 and 1500 V dc in the 3+0 configuration. Pluggable RC Connector SPD2-PV15-3P0-R Features & Benefits FEATURES BENEFITS Ensures low-residual voltage during high-energy Internal Configuration Capability to clamp and surge events and higher nominal discharge current withstand high-energy to prevent disruption, downtime, and degradation or transients +/- -/+ damage to equipment No additional overcurrent protection Reduces the number of components and costs devices required in required for protection UL applications TD TD TD Compact footprint Increases panel design flexibility Quick visual determines module replacement status Visual life indicator to avoid loss of protection Fast and simple to replace, minimizing maintenance Pluggable modules and downtime.
