SURGE ARRESTER FOR HOUSEH TBS V-PV-T2-1500+FS

Surge protection for photovoltaic systems for DC voltage of modules. Protects against surge voltage from solar modules coupling to the inverter's DC side.

Type 2 surge protectors divert the current induced in the module conductors by lightning strikes to ground through the grounding electrode and limit the resulting surge voltages to a safe level.

NOTE!

Type 2 surge protectors are not designed to withstand the high currents of a lightning strike according to standard IEC 61643-11; only T1 or T1+T2 lightning surge protectors are designed according to the standard to protect against lightning current (OBO V-PV-T1+2 ...).

NOTE!

The AC voltage supply connected to the inverter from the grid must also be protected against lightning and surge voltages coming from the grid.

Features

• Connection +, -, and PE/PEN.
• Protection class IP 20
• Response time (ns) < 25
• Temperature range (°C) -40 : +80.
• SPD according to standard IEC 61643-11 Class 2

The solar energy sector is currently one of the fastest-growing areas in the electrical industry. Since the relationship between system operation and payback period is of great importance to investors, lightning and surge protection is extremely critical. When a direct lightning strike hits a building with external lightning protection, large potential differences can arise between the building and installed systems (photovoltaic system), leading to dangerous fires and damage. Nearby lightning strikes generate strong magnetic fields that can damage electrical equipment. Even lightning strikes up to 2 km away can generate dangerous surge voltages in the building's electrical equipment.

OBO provides all necessary products for reliable lightning protection: lightning protection systems, surge protectors, equipotential bonding and grounding accessories, in accordance with IEC 61643-11.
