FAQ
Common questions about LY1-C40PV/2(S) 1000V two-pole pluggable Type 1+2 DC surge protective device selection and installation.
What is LY1-C40PV/2(S) 1000V used for?
It is designed to protect 1000V DC photovoltaic and DC power systems against lightning-induced surges and switching transient overvoltage. Typical locations include PV combiner boxes, inverter DC inputs, and DC distribution cabinets.
Is this a Type 1+2 DC SPD?
Yes. The product is classified as Class I+II / Type 1+2 and lists both an 8/20μs discharge-current rating and a 10/350μs impulse-current rating.
Quelles sont les valeurs de courant de décharge qu'il fournit ?
It provides 20kA nominal discharge current In, 40kA maximum discharge current Imax, and a listed 6.25kA impulse discharge current Iimp.
Que protège la configuration à deux pôles ?
The two-pole configuration provides separate surge-protection paths for the positive and negative DC conductors relative to protective earth.
Can the protection cartridges be replaced?
Yes. The pluggable design allows individual protection cartridges to be inspected or replaced without removing the permanently wired base.
Que doit-on confirmer avant de commander ?
Confirm the maximum PV system voltage, 1000V DC operating requirement, DC+ and DC− protection arrangement, required Up level, backup-fuse coordination, conductor size, DIN-rail space, and remote-contact requirement.
