Surge arrester T1, T2 (B, C) - for PV systems ETITEC ESM T12 PV 1200/6,25 Y 002440640

Photovoltaic installation protection – surge arrester ETITEC ESM T12 PV

This surge arrester of class T1 and T2 (B+C) is a key element in protecting a photovoltaic installation from the effects of lightning strikes and overvoltages. Specifically designed for use with PV systems, it protects inverters, panels and other sensitive components from damage. Mounting on a TH-35 mm DIN rail ensures easy installation in distribution boards.

Construction and application

The ETITEC ESM T12 PV surge arrester is designed to protect against the effects of direct and indirect lightning strikes. Its T1+T2 technology allows for a quick response to sudden voltage surges, dissipating energy to ground and minimizing the risk of failure. It is designed to operate in DC systems with a voltage of up to 1200V, making it an ideal solution for most modern photovoltaic installations. Optical signaling of operation facilitates diagnostics and quick identification of potential problems.

Key features and benefits

• High protection efficiency: Surge current of 3.1 kA guarantees effective protection against overvoltages, minimizing the risk of equipment damage.
• Versatility: Suitable for photovoltaic systems with a DC voltage of up to 1200V.
• Easy installation: Mounting on a standard TH-35 mm DIN rail simplifies installation and integration with existing infrastructure.
• Durable construction: Made of high-quality materials, ensuring reliable operation in various environmental conditions.
• Optical signaling: Optical indicator informs about the operation of the arrester, facilitating service and diagnostics.
• Large wire cross-section: Supports wires with a cross-section of up to 35 mm² (solid/stranded) and 25 mm² (flexible) ensuring compatibility with various types of cabling.
• Compact dimensions: Occupies only 3 modules in the distribution board, saving space.
• Protection level 4.4 kV: Provides a high level of protection against overvoltages in photovoltaic installations.

The ETITEC ESM T12 PV surge arrester is an investment in the safety and reliability of your photovoltaic installation, providing peace of mind and minimizing the risk of costly repairs. This is particularly important in areas prone to frequent lightning strikes or with an unstable power grid.
