Description

Comprehensive Type 2 PV DC Surge Protection

GSP9-C60~C160 PV DC Surge Protective Device (SPD) is a high-performance Type 2 (T2) lightning and overvoltage protector specifically designed for photovoltaic (PV) solar power systems. Offering a massive maximum discharge current (Imax) ranging from 60kA up to 160kA, this DC SPD serves as the primary defense line in solar combiner boxes and main distribution systems, safeguarding sensitive electronic equipment from induced lightning strikes and severe voltage transients. Designed for buildings vulnerable to lightning overvoltage, our GSP9 SPD provides reliable primary protection for various electronic and electrical equipment. Ideal for main distribution systems, distribution cabinets, and JP cabinets.

Optimized for Photovoltaic Distribution Systems

Perfectly suited for installation in PV distribution cabinets, JP cabinets, and critical solar inverter protection nodes. By utilizing advanced High Energy MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) protective elements, the device offers a rapid response time of less than 25ns. This ensures immediate suppression of power surges, effectively mitigating transient overvoltages and extending the lifespan of your entire solar electrical infrastructure.

Key Features & Advantages

  • Heavy-Duty Discharge Options: Available in multiple capacities to suit different scale projects. Handles nominal discharge currents (In) from 30kA to 100kA, and maximum discharge currents (Imax) from 60kA up to 160kA.
  • Versatile Pole Configurations: Offered in a wide range of pole setups (1P, 1+NPE, 2P, 3P, 4P, 3+NPE) to meet specific wiring and phase requirements for complex DC networks.
  • Integrated Remote Monitoring: Built-in remote communication connections allow for seamless integration into smart building management and remote solar monitoring systems.
  • Robust & Safe Design: Housed in a UL94 V0 flame-retardant PBT/PA enclosure with IP20 protection, ensuring operational safety in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +70°C.
  • Easy Installation: Standard 35mm DIN-rail mounting design enables quick, secure, and standardized installation in any standard electrical cabinet.
