The DS50PVS-500/51 is a type 2 surge protector specifically designed to protect against lightning surge voltages in photovoltaic power supply networks. It utilizes specific varistors to provide protection in common mode (between the PV modules and ground) or both common and differential modes (between the positive and negative conductors).
Here are the specifications of the DS50PVS-500/51 surge protector:
- Voltage Rating: 500V DC (direct current)
- Surge Current (In): 15 kA (kiloamperes)
- Maximum Discharge Current (Imax): 40 kA
- Pluggable Module: The surge protector can be easily inserted and removed from its socket, allowing for convenient installation and maintenance.
- Remote Signaling (Option): This surge protector may have an optional feature for remote signaling, which enables the transmission of signals or alarms to a remote monitoring system.
- Compliance Standards: The DS50PVS-500/51 surge protector adheres to the following compliance standards: UTE C61-740-51 and EN 61643-11. These standards ensure that the surge protector meets the required safety and performance criteria.
In summary, the DS50PVS-500/51 is a type 2 surge protector specifically designed for photovoltaic power supply networks. It provides protection against lightning surge voltages in both common mode and common/differential mode. With its pluggable module and optional remote signaling feature, it offers convenience and flexibility in installation and monitoring.
