ESP DC Photovoltaic (PV) T2 Series

Type 2 tested surge protective device SPD (to BS EN 61643-31) for DC applications such as Photovoltaic PV solar panel systems.

Typically for use at the DC side of the DC-AC inverter located within lightning protection zone 1 (LPZ 1) to protect the PV system from surge damage due to lightning and electrical switching events.

Features & benefits

  • Enhanced protection (to IEC/BS EN 62305) offering low let-through voltage further minimizing the risk of flashover creating dangerous sparking or electric shock
  • Repeated protection in lightning intense environments
  • The varistor based design eliminates the high follow current (If) associated with spark gap based surge protection
  • Pluggable module design (with anti-vibration locking clip) allows for simple replacement at end-of-life
  • Compact, space saving design
  • Indicator shows when the protector requires replacement
  • Remote signal contact, with fast fit screw-less push terminals, can indicate the SPDs status through interfacing with a building management system
