2CTB812052R1000 ABB OVR PV T1-T2 5-1000 C QS Replacement Surge Protection Cartridge

Why Choose the ABB OVR PV T1-T2 5-1000 C QS Replacement Surge Protection Cartridge?

The ABB OVR PV T1-T2 5-1000 C QS is a replacement surge protection cartridge for compatible ABB OVR PV combined Type 1 and Type 2 surge protective devices used in photovoltaic installations. Designed specifically for the ABB OVR PV QuickSafe range, it allows a spent protection module to be replaced without changing the complete surge protective device base.

Designed for photovoltaic systems up to 1000 V DC, the cartridge provides a total impulse current capability of 5 kA using the 10/350 µs waveform, a nominal discharge current of 20 kA and a maximum discharge current of 40 kA using the 8/20 µs waveform. Its 3.8 kV voltage protection level helps limit potentially damaging transient voltages within compatible PV surge protection assemblies.

The cartridge incorporates ABB's QuickSafe protection technology and an integrated visual status indicator for straightforward maintenance. Its pluggable design makes replacement quick and convenient, helping restore surge protection in compatible OVR PV T1-T2 5-1000 P QS and P TS QS assemblies while retaining the installed DIN-rail base and wiring.

Convenient Replacement Protection for 1000 V DC Photovoltaic Systems

Photovoltaic surge protective devices are exposed to repeated transient events throughout their operating life, and their protection modules may eventually reach end of life. The ABB OVR PV T1-T2 5-1000 C QS provides a straightforward means of restoring protection by replacing the affected cartridge rather than removing and rewiring the complete SPD assembly.

With combined Type 1 and Type 2 characteristics, the cartridge is designed to handle both lightning-current impulses and transient surge currents within compatible ABB photovoltaic SPDs. Its 5 kA total 10/350 µs impulse capability, 40 kA maximum 8/20 µs discharge current and visual status indication make it a practical maintenance component for commercial, industrial and utility-scale solar installations.
