Choose Your Solar PV SPD by DC System Voltage

One of the main advantages of the LDSP1s-PV40 range is that the same product platform covers several photovoltaic DC voltage levels.

Instead of selecting a surge protector by discharge-current rating alone, check the maximum continuous operating voltage, Ucpv, together with the required protection configuration and voltage protection level.

2+0 vs 3+0 Protection Configurations

The LDSP1s-PV40 series is available in both 2+0 and 3+0 arrangements.

The 2+0 versions use two protective paths and are listed in the product range for 500V to 1000V DC models. The 3+0 versions use a three-module arrangement and are available in the 1000V to 1500V DC range.

The correct configuration should be selected according to the PV system voltage, circuit arrangement and project protection design. For OEM projects or applications where the required configuration is not clear, send us the system information before ordering, and we can help identify the appropriate model.

Designed for Solar PV DC Protection

The LDSP1s-PV40 is intended for surge protection on the DC side of photovoltaic installations.

Typical applications include:

  • Solar PV combiner boxes

  • DC distribution panels

  • PV array protection

  • Solar inverter DC input circuits

  • Commercial rooftop solar systems

  • Industrial photovoltaic installations

  • Other DC sections of PV power systems within the product's rated voltage range

With voltage options extending to 1500V DC, the series allows buyers to use a consistent SPD platform across different photovoltaic system designs while selecting the Ucpv and protection mode that suit each project.

Pluggable Design, Status Indication & Remote Signalling

The protective modules are pluggable, allowing a module to be replaced without changing the complete base assembly.

A visual indicator provides a quick check of device condition:

  • Green indicates normal operating status

  • Red indicates that the protective module requires attention or replacement

For projects that need centralized monitoring, selected versions can be supplied with an optional remote signalling contact. This allows the SPD status to be incorporated into a monitoring or control system without relying only on local visual inspection.

Installation and Backup Protection

The LDSP1s-PV40 is designed for 35mm DIN-rail installation and uses screw terminals for conductors from 2.5mm² to 25mm². Busbar wiring may also be used according to the product configuration.

The supplied technical data specifies a maximum 63A gPV backup fuse.

SPD selection and installation should take account of the actual PV system voltage, conductor arrangement, protection mode and upstream protection. Installation should be carried out by qualified electrical personnel in accordance with the confirmed product documentation and applicable project requirements.

FAQ

Which LDSP1s-PV40 voltage rating should I choose?

Choose the Ucpv rating according to the actual maximum DC operating voltage of the photovoltaic system and the project design requirements. The LDSP1s-PV40 range includes 500V, 600V, 800V, 1000V, 1200V and 1500V DC models.

Do not select the SPD only by looking at In or Imax. Ucpv, voltage protection level and protection configuration also need to match the system.

What are the In and Imax ratings of the LDSP1s-PV40?

The series has a nominal discharge current, In, of 20kA and a maximum discharge current, Imax, of 40kA using an 8/20 μs waveform.

What is the difference between the 2+0 and 3+0 versions?

Within the supplied product range, 2+0 configurations are listed for the 500V to 1000V DC models, while 3+0 configurations are listed for 1000V to 1500V DC.

The final configuration should be chosen according to the system voltage and electrical design rather than by pole count alone.

How does the voltage protection level vary between models?

The voltage protection level, Up, varies with the selected Ucpv:

  • 500V DC: ≤2.2kV

  • 600V DC: ≤2.8kV

  • 800V DC: ≤3.2kV

  • 1000V DC: ≤3.8kV

  • 1200V DC: ≤4.5kV

  • 1500V DC: ≤5.2kV

This is why the exact voltage variant matters when specifying an SPD for a photovoltaic system.

Is remote signalling available?

Yes. Remote signalling is available as an option. The technical data specifies a changeover contact rated at 250V/0.5A AC or 30V/3A DC.

What backup fuse is specified?

The supplied technical data specifies a maximum 63A gPV backup fuse for the LDSP1s-PV40 series. The final protection arrangement should still be checked against the selected model and project design.
