The SPD2 PV series is a photovoltaic surge protection device that safeguards components from transient overvoltage or surges that last micro-seconds by limiting the fault current to a load or the unit being protected. The majority of surges are caused by equipment being turned on or off within a facility. By limiting these surges, costly damage, downtime, repairs, and missed deadlines can be mitigated. The surge protection devices for solar string box and inverter applications are available in 1100 V dc and 1500 V dc in the 3+0 configuration.
