Eaton dispositivo di protezione da sovratensione PV 1000V tipo 2 testato (EP-501966)

This Eaton surge protection device is specifically engineered for photovoltaic systems operating at up to 1000 V DC, providing reliable protection against transient overvoltages. Its Type 2 classification ensures effective defense against indirect lightning strikes and switching surges, making it a robust choice for solar installations.

Highlights

• Nominal discharge current of 20 kA and maximum discharge current of 40 kA for high surge capacity.
• Visual status indicator (green/red) for quick operational checks.
• Replaceable modules for easy maintenance and extended service life.
• DIN rail mounting for straightforward installation in electrical enclosures.
• Operating temperature range from -40 °C to +80 °C for harsh environments.

In daily use

Installed on a standard 35 mm DIN rail, the device integrates seamlessly into PV combiner boxes or inverter AC/DC cabinets. The clear status indicator allows at-a-glance verification of protection readiness, while the modular design minimizes downtime during replacement. With a voltage protection level of ≤4.0 kV, it safeguards sensitive inverter electronics from damaging voltage spikes.
