High-Voltage Type 2 Surge Protection for Photovoltaic Systems
Photovoltaic arrays and their associated DC cabling can be exposed to transient overvoltages generated by indirect lightning activity and switching events. Type 2 photovoltaic surge protective devices help limit these transient voltages and divert surge energy away from sensitive equipment such as PV inverters, monitoring equipment and other components within the DC installation.
The OVR PV T2 40-1500 C provides the replaceable protection element for compatible ABB OVR PV Type 2 devices. Its 1500 V DC capability, 40 kA maximum discharge current and pluggable construction make it particularly suitable for maintaining high-voltage commercial, industrial and utility-scale photovoltaic surge protection systems.
Typical Applications
- 1500 V DC photovoltaic installations.
- Replacement cartridges for compatible ABB OVR PV Type 2 SPDs.
- Solar PV array DC surge protection systems.
- Photovoltaic string and combiner boxes.
- PV inverter protection installations.
- Commercial and industrial photovoltaic systems.
- Utility-scale solar installations.
