Why Choose the ABB OVR PV T2 40-1500 C Replacement Cartridge?

The ABB OVR PV T2 40-1500 C, order code 2CTB802402R1500, is a Type 2 replacement surge protection cartridge designed for compatible ABB OVR PV surge protective devices used in photovoltaic installations. Part of the ABB OVR PV range and ABB's Surge Protection Devices product group, it provides a replaceable protection module for high-voltage 1500 V DC photovoltaic systems.

The OVR PV T2 40-1500 C provides a maximum discharge current (Imax) of 40 kA and a nominal discharge current (In) of 15 kA using an 8/20 µs waveform. With a maximum continuous operating voltage (Ucpv) of 1500 V DC and a voltage protection level (Up) of 5 kV, it is engineered for demanding photovoltaic DC surge protection applications.

Its pluggable construction allows the protection cartridge in a compatible ABB OVR PV Type 2 SPD to be replaced while retaining the installed base and associated wiring. An integrated visual status indicator provides clear condition monitoring, while the compact cartridge format supports efficient maintenance in photovoltaic combiner boxes, inverter installations and DC distribution equipment.

Key Advantages

  • Genuine replacement cartridge for compatible ABB OVR PV Type 2 SPDs.
  • Designed specifically for high-voltage 1500 V DC photovoltaic applications.

High-Voltage Type 2 Surge Protection for Photovoltaic Systems

Photovoltaic arrays and their associated DC cabling can be exposed to transient overvoltages generated by indirect lightning activity and switching events. Type 2 photovoltaic surge protective devices help limit these transient voltages and divert surge energy away from sensitive equipment such as PV inverters, monitoring equipment and other components within the DC installation.

The OVR PV T2 40-1500 C provides the replaceable protection element for compatible ABB OVR PV Type 2 devices. Its 1500 V DC capability, 40 kA maximum discharge current and pluggable construction make it particularly suitable for maintaining high-voltage commercial, industrial and utility-scale photovoltaic surge protection systems.

Typical Applications

  • 1500 V DC photovoltaic installations.
  • Replacement cartridges for compatible ABB OVR PV Type 2 SPDs.
  • Solar PV array DC surge protection systems.
  • Photovoltaic string and combiner boxes.
  • PV inverter protection installations.
  • Commercial and industrial photovoltaic systems.
  • Utility-scale solar installations.
