<p>When it comes to safeguarding your photovoltaic (PV) systems from electrical surges, a reliable surge protection device (SPD) is essential. This SPD is designed with precision and durability in mind, offering robust protection tailored for industrial and commercial applications.</p><p>The device boasts a rated current of 20 kA ((DC+/DC-) -&gt; PE), ensuring that it can handle substantial surge events effectively. With an IP20 degree of protection, it&#39;s well-suited for environments where physical intrusion by solid objects over 12mm is not a concern but requires careful placement away from moisture.</p><p>Installation is straightforward thanks to its compatibility with the standard 35 mm DIN rail mounting system. The dimensions are compact yet practical, measuring 54 mm in width, 90 mm in height, and 66 mm in depth. These measurements make it adaptable to various installation spaces without compromising on performance or accessibility.</p><p>Engineered from high-quality thermoplastic material, this SPD stands out for its resilience and longevity. It operates efficiently across a wide temperature range from -40&#176;C to 80&#176;C, making it suitable for diverse climatic conditions encountered in Australia.</p><p>This device adheres to rigorous standards and approvals including KEMA, UL, and CSA certifications. Such endorsements affirm its reliability and compliance with international safety norms—an important consideration when selecting components for critical infrastructure like PV systems.</p><p>With a response time of less than or equal to 25 nanoseconds (ns), the SPD reacts swiftly to transient voltage spikes. Its voltage protection levels are &lt;=0.8 kV and &lt;=0.6 kV depending on system requirements, providing peace of mind that sensitive equipment will be shielded effectively.</p><p>The SPD&#39;s rated short circuit current capacity stands at 10 kA which complements its Type 2 classification—ideal for secondary level surge protection downstream of primary devices or directly at distribution boards within PV installations.</p><p>Versatility in wiring options enhances ease of integration into existing setups; accommodating cross sections of up to 1.5 sq-mm solid/flexible wires as well as larger stranded (up to 35 sq-mm) or flexible cables (up to 25 sq-mm). This flexibility ensures compatibility with various conductor types commonly used in PV systems.</p><p>Weighing just 276 grams, this SPD combines lightweight design with robust functionality—a testament to thoughtful engineering aimed at meeting the demands of modern energy solutions while maintaining operational efficiency over time without unnecessary bulkiness or complexity during setup processes.</p>
