DC Protection Devices

WSPV DC Surge Protective Device

Type 1+2 surge protection for the DC side, in two and three pole versions up to 1500V. A PV array is an exposed conductive structure on a roof, so the lightning-current duty here is the Type 1 case rather than the overvoltage-only case.

WPV-FU Photovoltaic Fuse Link

gPV fuse links in the two sizes the PV market actually uses: 10 × 38 for 1000V systems and 10 × 85 for 1500V. Both interrupt in under a millisecond and are rated for the full-range duty a string fuse has to cover.
