Why Choose the ABB OVR PV T2 40-1000 P Surge Protective Device?

The ABB OVR PV T2 40-1000 P is a pluggable Type 2 photovoltaic surge protective device (SPD) designed to protect the DC side of solar photovoltaic installations against transient overvoltages caused by indirect lightning effects and electrical switching events. Part of the ABB OVR PV surge protection range, it is specifically engineered for photovoltaic applications with DC operating voltages up to 1000 V.

The OVR PV T2 40-1000 P uses a 1+1 DC configuration protecting the positive and negative PV conductors. It provides a maximum discharge current (Imax) of 40 kA and a nominal discharge current (In) of 20 kA using the standard 8/20 µs surge-current waveform, with a voltage protection level (Up) of 4 kV.

With a 1000 V DC maximum continuous operating voltage and pluggable cartridges, this ABB SPD is well suited to photovoltaic combiner boxes, inverter protection and DC distribution equipment. Visual status indication supports straightforward inspection, while the replaceable cartridge design simplifies maintenance without requiring replacement of the complete device base.

Key Advantages

  • Type 2 surge protection specifically designed for photovoltaic applications.
  • 1000 V DC maximum continuous operating voltage for high-voltage PV strings.

Reliable Surge Protection for Photovoltaic DC Systems

Photovoltaic arrays and their associated DC cabling can be exposed to transient overvoltages generated by nearby lightning activity and electrical switching events. A Type 2 PV surge protective device diverts damaging surge currents while limiting the transient voltage reaching downstream equipment such as solar inverters, monitoring systems and DC distribution components.

The ABB OVR PV T2 40-1000 P combines a 40 kA maximum discharge capability, 20 kA nominal discharge current and 1000 V DC operating capability in a compact pluggable format. Its replaceable cartridges and visual condition indication help simplify ongoing maintenance of surge protection within photovoltaic installations.

Typical Applications

  • Solar photovoltaic DC installations.
  • PV array and string protection.
  • Photovoltaic combiner boxes.
  • DC inputs of solar inverters.
  • Commercial and industrial solar installations.
  • Rooftop and ground-mounted photovoltaic systems.
  • PV DC distribution panels requiring Type 2 surge protection.
