The Need for Surge Protection
The unique nature of PV installations make them
vulnerable to overvolatges and surges from lightning
strikes and static discharges.
These surges need to be intercepted before they take
down the entire system by damaging the PV arrays,
charge controller/inverter and combiner boxes.
In any PV system, it is vital that surge suppressor
elements that are subject to wear, are easily monitored
for performance.
The Cooper Bussmann PV Surge Suppression systems
provide standard easyID™ visual indication and remote
contact signaling to keep system maintainers apprised
of the protection level being delivered.
Safe and Simple
•IP20 Finger-safe construction and suppressor
rejection feature make it easy to know the suppressor
system is installed and properly operating to protect
your PV system investment.
•Simply specify the system voltage and whether the
remote contact signaling is desired.
•Five year limited warranty.*
