DC Surge protective device,protect against lightning surge voltages in solar system (photovoltaic power supply system). These units must be installed in parallel on the DC networks to be protected and provide common and different modes protection. Its installed location are recommended at both ends of the DC power supply line (solar panel side and incerter/converter […]
The Importance of Surge Protection Devices The capacity of a PV array is directly related to its exposed surface area, so the potential impact of lightning events increases with system size. In the area that lighting occurrences are frequent, unprotected PV systems could suffer repeated and significant damage to key components. It results in substantial […]
SPDs’ operating characteristics are defined by several technical characteristics. The following are some technical characteristics that should be considered: maximum continuous operating voltage, ac or dc application, nominal discharge current (defined by a magnitude and waveform), voltage-protection level (the terminal voltage that is present when the SPDs are discharging a specific current) and temporary overvoltage […]
In spite of the high lightning risk that many PV installations are exposed to, they can be protected by the application of DC SPDs and a properly engineered lightning protection system. Effective DC SPD implementation should include the following considerations: •Correct placement in the system •Termination requirements •Proper grounding and bonding of the equipment-ground system […]
Surge protection devices (SPD) and surge arresters have the same function: they can protect electrical equipment from overvoltage conditions, but what is the difference between them? The following is a brief description of the differences between them. 1. Different Rated Voltages: According to NEC 2017 Sec 280 & 285, the rated voltage of the surge […]
Circuit breakers are necessary, and many experts need them to prevent circuit fire caused by short circuit current. Miniature circuit breakers are known to protect only from voltage spikes for a short period, whereas the circuit breaker protects overcurrent in the wiring. If there is over-voltage, it can damage the appliance. However, over-voltage will not […]
