£28.80
The Mersen 83020006, also known as SP2-40K1000V-PV, is a high-performance Type 2 photovoltaic surge protection device designed to protect DC solar installations from transient overvoltages caused by lightning effects, switching operations and electrical network disturbances.
As part of the Mersen Surge-Trap STP T2 40 PV series, this device is engineered for photovoltaic applications including rooftop solar, commercial PV systems and large-scale solar installations. Its pluggable design allows fast replacement during maintenance, helping reduce downtime while maintaining reliable protection for PV equipment.
With a 40 kA maximum discharge current, 1000 V DC nominal voltage and 530 V DC maximum continuous operating voltage, the Mersen 83020006 is a practical choice for Type 2 DC surge protection in solar power distribution and inverter protection systems.
Photovoltaic installations are exposed to transient overvoltages from lightning-induced surges and switching events. Type 2 DC surge protection devices help limit these voltage spikes before they reach inverters, combiner boxes and other sensitive PV equipment.
The Mersen 83020006 supports efficient maintenance by using a pluggable surge protection format. This makes it suitable for solar contractors, panel builders and maintenance engineers responsible for keeping PV systems protected and operational.
