SPC PV-600 DS Lightning Arresters

SPC PV is lightning arrester type 1+2 according to EN 61643-11. It is designed for protection of positive and negative busbars of photovoltaic systems against the surge effects. These arresters are recommended for use in the Lightning Protection Zones Concept at the boundaries of LPZ 0-1 (according to IEC 1312-1and EN 62305). Particular varistor sectors connected between terminals L+, L- and PE are equipped with fitted internal disconnectors which are activated when varistors fail (overheat). Failure indication of these disconnectors is partly mechanical (by red signaling target) and partly remote monitoring (by potential free switching contacts).


Function of remote monitor terminals
When the SPC PV DS is operating correctly, the terminations 1-2 are connected to normally closed contacts, 2-3 are normally open. If the internal varistor component is damaged as a result of thermal overloading, terminations 1-2 will then be open and 2-3 closed.
