DC Surge Protective Device (SPD) A/B Type HKB/HKU-PV40 3P 40kA DC1000V Lightning Arrester - Red=Replace Indicator, CE Certified

☀️ Ultimate DC Surge Protection for High-Voltage Solar Arrays – Type 1+2 Hybrid

• Hybrid A/B Type (Type 1+2): Protects against both direct lightning strikes (10/350µs) and switching surges (8/20µs) in one device.

• 1000V DC Rating: Designed for commercial and utility-scale PV systems up to 1000V.

• 3-Pole (3P) Configuration: Protects positive (+), negative (-), and ground (PE) – complete isolation for ungrounded arrays.

• 40kA Surge Capacity: High-energy dissipation for the most demanding installations.

• Red=Replace Visual Indicator: Green means protected, red means replace – at-a-glance status monitoring.

• CE Certified: Meets IEC 61643-31 European safety standards for photovoltaic applications.

• DIN Rail Mount: Easy installation in combiner boxes, inverter enclosures, and DC panels.

Large-scale solar installations face an elevated risk from direct lightning strikes and severe surge events. Standard Type 2 SPDs provide adequate protection for indirect surges, but when your PV array is exposed to direct strikes – common in open fields, rooftops, and high-lightning areas – you need Type 1+2 hybrid protection.

The HEVGKEOU HKB/HKU-PV40 Series is a Type 1+2 (A/B Type) DC Surge Protective Device engineered for high-voltage photovoltaic systems up to 1000V DC. With a 3-pole (3P) configuration, it safeguards both positive and negative conductors while providing a dedicated ground path – essential for ungrounded or floating PV arrays common in modern installations.

Rated at 40kA surge capacity and certified to IEC 61643-31, this advanced SPD combines the high-energy handling of Type 1 (10/350µs waveform for direct lightning) with the fast response of Type 2 (8/20µs waveform for switching surges) – all in a single, compact DIN rail module.

The red=replace visual indicator ensures you always know your protection status, while CE certification guarantees compliance with European safety standards.
