Why Choose the ABB OVR PV T2 40-1000 C Replacement Cartridge?
The ABB OVR PV T2 40-1000 C, order code 2CTB802402R1000, 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 1000 V DC photovoltaic systems.
The OVR PV T2 40-1000 C is rated for a maximum discharge current (Imax) of 40 kA and a nominal discharge current (In) of 20 kA using an 8/20 µs waveform. Its maximum continuous operating voltage is 1000 V DC, making it suitable for the high DC voltages encountered in modern photovoltaic arrays and associated power distribution equipment.
As a pluggable replacement cartridge, the OVR PV T2 40-1000 C allows the protection module in a compatible ABB OVR PV Type 2 SPD to be replaced while retaining the installed base and wiring. A built-in visual status indicator assists inspection and maintenance, while the compact 17.5 mm width helps minimise space requirements within photovoltaic distribution and protection equipment.

Reliable 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 electrical switching events. Type 2 photovoltaic surge protective devices help limit these transient voltages and divert surge energy away from sensitive equipment such as inverters, monitoring systems and other components within the PV installation.
The OVR PV T2 40-1000 C provides the replaceable protection element for compatible ABB OVR PV Type 2 devices. Its 1000 V DC rating, 40 kA maximum discharge capability and pluggable construction make it a practical maintenance component for photovoltaic surge protection systems where rapid replacement and dependable protection are required.
Typical Applications
- 1000 V DC photovoltaic installations.
- Replacement cartridges for compatible ABB OVR PV Type 2 SPDs.
- Solar PV array DC protection systems.
- Photovoltaic inverter protection installations.
