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

The ABB OVR PV T2 40-1000 P TS 2CTB802401R1000 is a Type 2 surge protective device (SPD) specifically designed for photovoltaic DC installations. Part of ABB's OVR PV surge protection range, it helps protect solar panels, inverters and associated DC equipment against transient overvoltages caused by lightning-related disturbances and electrical switching events.

Designed for photovoltaic systems with a rated voltage of 1000 V DC, the OVR PV T2 40-1000 P TS provides a maximum discharge current Imax of 40 kA and a nominal discharge current In of 20 kA using an 8/20 µs waveform. Its voltage protection level Up is 3 kV, providing coordinated transient-overvoltage protection for compatible PV installations.

The P configuration uses replaceable pluggable cartridges, while the TS auxiliary contact provides remote status signalling with one normally open and one normally closed contact. DIN-rail mounting, an IP20 enclosure and a replaceable OVR PV T2 40-1000 C cartridge make the 2CTB802401R1000 a practical solution for photovoltaic combiner boxes, inverter installations and DC distribution equipment.

Key Advantages

  • Purpose-designed Type 2 surge protection for photovoltaic DC systems.
  • Suitable for systems rated up to 1000 V DC.
  • 40 kA maximum discharge current (Imax) for robust transient surge handling.
  • 20 kA nominal discharge current (In) using an 8/20 µs waveform.
  • TS auxiliary contact enables remote monitoring of SPD status.
  • Pluggable replaceable cartridges simplify maintenance without replacing the complete device.

Key Features

  • ABB OVR PV T2 photovoltaic surge protection range.
  • Type 2 / Class II surge protective device.
  • 1000 V DC rated voltage.
  • 1000 V DC maximum continuous operating voltage Ucpv.
  • 40 kA maximum discharge current Imax.
  • 20 kA nominal discharge current In.
  • 3 kV voltage protection level Up.
  • Remote signalling auxiliary contact with 1 NO + 1 NC contacts.
  • Pluggable cartridge construction for straightforward servicing.
  • DIN-rail mounting for integration into PV electrical enclosures.

Dedicated Type 2 Surge Protection for Photovoltaic Systems

Photovoltaic arrays and their associated DC cabling can be exposed to transient overvoltages caused by nearby lightning activity and switching events. These transients can place considerable electrical stress on inverters, monitoring equipment and other components. A photovoltaic-specific SPD provides a controlled path for surge current while limiting the voltage appearing across protected equipment.

The ABB OVR PV T2 40-1000 P TS is engineered specifically for 1000 V DC photovoltaic installations. Its 40 kA Imax, 20 kA In and 3 kV Up ratings provide Type 2 protection, while the replaceable cartridges and remote signalling contact simplify maintenance and enable integration with compatible monitoring systems.

Typical Applications

  • 1000 V DC photovoltaic installations.
  • Solar PV array surge protection.
  • Photovoltaic combiner and junction boxes.
  • Solar inverter DC input protection.
  • Commercial rooftop photovoltaic systems.
  • Industrial and utility-scale solar installations.
  • PV systems requiring remote SPD status monitoring.
