This Type 2 AC surge protection device guards single phase 230V solar inverter electronics against overvoltages from lightning strikes, grid disturbances and generator switching. Its high energy varistor with thermal fuse gives protection to inverters, consumer units and other sensitive electrical equipment. The unit mounts on a DIN rail for straightforward installation into an existing enclosure.

Key features of this surge protection device for single phase 230v

• Type, Type 2 AC surge protection device
• Voltage, single phase 230V
• Protection component, high energy varistor with thermal fuse
• Hazards covered, lightning, grid surges and generator voltage disturbances
• Mounting, DIN rail
• Placement, suitable for installation before the main RCD in consumer units

Applications

Fit it to protect the AC connections of a single phase solar inverter, or as general surge protection within a consumer unit. It also suits the AC output circuits of off-grid and hybrid inverters, where switching disturbances can otherwise reach sensitive electronics.

Installation notes

Install in parallel at the consumer unit, ideally ahead of the main RCD. Fitting must be carried out by a qualified electrician and in accordance with IET Wiring Regulations.
