Description
Surge Arresters Type 1+2 for PV (Photovoltaic) systems are comprehensive surge protection devices that combine the features of both Type 1 and Type 2 Surge Arresters. As mentioned earlier, Type 1 Surge Arresters (Class I) are designed to handle high-energy surges caused by direct lightning strikes, while Type 2 Surge Arresters (Class II) are intended to protect against lower-energy surges and switching operations. Surge Arresters Type 1+2 offer a higher level of protection for PV systems as they can handle both direct lightning strikes and transient overvoltages caused by nearby lightning or internal switching operations. This comprehensive protection helps safeguard the entire PV installation, including solar panels, inverters, charge controllers, and other electronic components. Surge Arresters Type 1+2 are designed to handle the specific DC voltage of 1500VDC commonly found in PV systems. It is essential to choose a surge arrester with the appropriate voltage rating that matches the PV systems specifications. By incorporating Surge Arresters Type 1+2 into PV systems, owners can significantly reduce the risk of equipment damage and system downtime caused by transient overvoltages. These surge protection devices help enhance the reliability and longevity of the PV installation, ensuring that it continues to operate efficiently and effectively.
