The ABB OVR PV T2 40-1500 P TS 2CTB802401R1500 is a Type 2 surge protective device (SPD) specifically designed for high-voltage photovoltaic DC installations. Part of ABB's OVR PV range, it helps protect PV arrays, inverters and associated DC equipment against transient overvoltages resulting from indirect lightning events and other electrical disturbances.
Designed for photovoltaic systems with a maximum continuous operating voltage of 1500 V DC, the OVR PV T2 40-1500 P TS provides a maximum discharge current Imax of 40 kA and a nominal discharge current In of 15 kA, based on the standard 8/20 µs surge-current waveform. Its voltage protection level Up is 5 kV, with protection provided between DC+, DC− and ground.
The P configuration features replaceable pluggable cartridges, while the TS auxiliary contact provides remote status signalling through one normally open and one normally closed contact. With thermally protected varistor technology, a visual end-of-life indicator and an IP20 enclosure, the 2CTB802401R1500 provides a serviceable surge protection solution for string/combiner boxes, PV inverters and other 1500 V DC photovoltaic equipment.
Photovoltaic arrays can be exposed to transient overvoltages caused by indirect lightning events, with long DC cable runs increasing the importance of correctly coordinated surge protection. PV-specific SPDs are designed to divert surge current while limiting the transient voltage imposed on sensitive equipment such as solar inverters and monitoring electronics.
The ABB OVR PV T2 40-1500 P TS combines a 1500 V DC Ucpv rating with 40 kA Imax, 15 kA In and a 5 kV Up protection level. Its pluggable cartridge, visual status indication and TS remote signalling contact simplify maintenance and make it particularly suitable for professional high-voltage PV installations.
