Surge arrester T2 (C) - for PV systems ETITEC M T2 PV 600/20 Y RC 002440736

Photovoltaic installation protection – reliability and safety

ETITEC M T2 PV 600/20 Y RC surge protector is a key element in protecting photovoltaic installations from the effects of lightning strikes and overvoltages. A Class T2 device, specifically designed for DC systems, effectively protects sensitive components such as inverters and solar panels from damage. Its installation is an investment in the long-term and trouble-free operation of the entire installation.

Design and application

This surge protector is used in photovoltaic systems with a DC voltage of up to 600V. Mounted on a 35mm DIN rail, it occupies only 3 modules, allowing for easy integration with an existing distribution box. It has a built-in remote signaling contact, which enables a quick response in the event of a failure and minimizes downtime. Made in MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) technology, it provides effective protection against impulse overvoltages.

Key features and benefits

• Effective protection: Rated discharge current of 20 kA (8/20) guarantees protection against strong overvoltages. The maximum discharge current reaches up to 50 kA, providing an additional margin of safety.
• Status indication: Built-in remote signaling contact informs about the need to replace the surge protector after a voltage surge – this facilitates service and keeps the installation in optimal condition.
• Versatility: Possibility of connecting wires with a cross-section of up to 35 mm² (single-/multi-stranded) and 25 mm² (flexible) ensures compatibility with various types of cabling used in photovoltaic installations.
• Compact dimensions: Occupies only 3 modules on a DIN rail, making it easy to install even in tight distribution boxes.
• High quality workmanship: Ensures long-lasting and reliable operation of the device, minimizing the risk of failure and downtime.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the required safety standards, guaranteeing safe operation of the photovoltaic installation.
• Quick installation: Mounting on a standard 35mm DIN rail is simple and intuitive, reducing installation time and labor costs.

The ETITEC M T2 PV 600/20 Y RC surge protector is a solid solution for every installer and end user looking for reliable protection of a photovoltaic system. Its technical parameters and functionality guarantee the safety of the investment and peace of mind for years to come.
