CAU5-T2-40 PV SPD is a specialized Class II DC surge protector designed for photovoltaic power supply systems, with the capability to handle a maximum continuous operating voltage of DC1500V. These units should be installed in parallel on the DC networks that require protection, offering both common and different modes of protection. For optimal coverage, it is recommended to install them at both ends of the DC power supply line, especially for external and lengthy line routing, encompassing the solar panel side and the inverter/converter side.

Product Uses


Type 2 DC photovoltaic surge protectors are critical components in safeguarding photovoltaic (PV) systems from surges caused by indirect lightning strikes and other sources of electrical transients. These devices are designed to protect against overvoltage that can occur in PV systems, ensuring the safety and longevity of the electrical equipment involved in solar energy generation. Here's how they are typically applied:


  1. PV Panel Protection: Type 2 surge protectors are installed on the DC output side of solar panels, both positive to ground and negative to ground. This is to protect the solar panels themselves from surges that can occur due to atmospheric conditions or switching operations within the power grid.

  2. Combiner and Recombiner Boxes: In installations where, multiple solar panels are connected, surge protection is applied to the combiner and recombiner boxes. These boxes consolidate the output from several panels before it is fed into the inverter, and they are thus critical points for surge protection.

  3. Inverter Protection: The inverter, which converts DC power from the panels into AC power for use in homes or businesses, is also protected by Type 2 surge protectors. This is crucial as inverters are sensitive to overvoltage and can be expensive to replace.

  4. Building Installation Protection: Beyond the PV system itself, Type 2 surge protectors help to safeguard control and communication equipment, as well as devices within the building's installation that could be affected by electrical surges.

  5. Integration into Monitoring Systems: This Type 2 surge protectors come with optional remote signaling capabilities. This allows them to be integrated into centralized monitoring systems, where their status can be checked, and maintenance can be scheduled proactively if a fault is detected.


These applications demonstrate the importance of Type 2 surge protectors in maintaining the operational integrity and safety of photovoltaic systems across various points where electrical surges could potentially cause damage.
