Surge Protection

The SPA1000/T1PV is a Type 1 & Type 2 photovoltaic surge arrester.

This complete device consists of a base part and pluggable modules. The SPA1000/T1PV is recommended for use in the Lightning Protection Zones Concept at the boundaries of LPZ 1-2 for equipotential bonding of positive and negative busbars of photovoltaic systems and elimination of transient overvoltages that originate during atmospheric discharges or switching processes.

• Maximum Continuous Operating Voltage – 1000V DC (+ to -) 500V DC (+/- to PE)
• Short-circuit Withstand Capability – 10kA
• Max. Discharge Current (8/20) – 40kA
• Nominal Discharge Current (8/20) – 20kA
• Voltage Protection Level at I_n – < 3.6kV (+ to -) 1.8kV (+/- to PE)

This surge protection device can be purchased as a unit on its own or with a metal or plastic enclosure.
