1000V 3P 40kA DC Surge Protection Device Type 2 DC SPD PV Surge Arrester for Solar Energy Systems

The BRPV3-1000 is a 3-pole DC solar PV surge protection device (SPD) designed for 1000V photovoltaic systems. It provides reliable protection against transient overvoltages caused by lightning strikes, electrostatic discharges, and grid switching operations, safeguarding solar energy installations and connected equipment.

Rated for a nominal discharge current of 20kA and a maximum discharge current of 40kA (8/20 µs waveform), this surge arrester delivers dependable performance in demanding PV environments.

Overvoltages are brief voltage peaks lasting less than a thousandth of a second that can exceed the allowable design operating voltage of electrical devices by many times. These events are typically caused by lightning strikes, electrostatic discharges, or power grid switching operations, and they are extremely hazardous.

Such surges can cause electrical systems to fail, destroy electrical and electronic equipment, or even set entire buildings on fire. An appropriate protection concept should therefore be implemented in every building.

• Maximum operating voltage (UCPV): 1000V DC
• Nominal discharge current (8/20 µs) per module (In): 20kA
• Maximum discharge current (8/20 µs) per module (Imax): 40kA

• Optical status indicator via LED.
• Space-saving enclosure with a width of only four modules for up to 1000V DC.
• Operating state / fault indication by green / red indicator flag in the inspection window.

Large single surge events, such as lightning, can reach hundreds of thousands of volts and can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure. Although other surges may be smaller in magnitude, they occur more frequently, and continuous exposure can degrade sensitive electronic equipment within the facility. The use of adapted surge protection is therefore highly recommended.

• Mount the SPD on a 35mm DIN rail.
• The SPD is placed in parallel between the energized conductors and ground.
• The selected SPD must be specifically designed, rated, and approved for application on DC PV voltages.

• 22 years of global leading professional manufacturing of electrical products and surge arresters.
• All products are well packed before shipping.
• Standard packaging available; custom packaging requirements can be accommodated.
• Faster delivery.
• Individually tested prior to shipment.
