OVR PV Type 2 Surge Protective Devices
OVR PV Type 2 SPDs for Photovoltaic applications help divert the lightning currents within an electrical system resulting from indirect lightning events. They have effective voltage protection ratings keeping damaging voltage peaks from exceeding the withstand voltages of the protected equipment.
OVR PV Type 2 SPDs are typically installed inside the string/combiner boxes or inside the PV Inverter. Additional PV SPDs may be required for optimal protection if cable lengths between SPDs are greater than 10 meters.
