The ABB OVR PV T2 40-1500 P is a high-voltage Type 2 photovoltaic surge protective device (SPD) designed to protect the DC side of solar photovoltaic installations against transient overvoltages caused by indirect lightning events and electrical switching. Part of the ABB OVR PV surge protection range, it is specifically designed for photovoltaic power systems operating at up to 1500 V DC.
The OVR PV T2 40-1500 P protects two DC lines, with protection modes between DC+ and DC-, DC+ and earth, and DC- and earth. It provides a maximum discharge current (Imax) of 40 kA and a nominal discharge current (In) of 15 kA using an 8/20 µs surge-current waveform, providing effective protection against transient surge energy in demanding PV installations.
With a 1500 V DC maximum continuous operating voltage (Ucpv), a voltage protection level (Up) of 5 kV and pluggable protection cartridges, this ABB SPD is well suited to photovoltaic string and combiner boxes, inverter DC inputs and other PV distribution equipment. Its thermally protected varistor technology and green/red end-of-life indicator provide reliable operation and straightforward maintenance.
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 and limits the transient voltage reaching sensitive downstream equipment such as photovoltaic inverters, monitoring electronics and DC distribution components.
The ABB OVR PV T2 40-1500 P combines a 40 kA maximum discharge capability, 15 kA nominal discharge current and 1500 V DC operating capability for modern high-voltage photovoltaic installations. Its pluggable cartridges and visual end-of-life indication help simplify inspection and maintenance throughout the service life of the PV system.
