Gleichstrom-Überspannungsschutz ist in mehreren Branchen erforderlich, die Gleichstrom verwenden, um die Servicefunktionalität aufrechtzuerhalten. Zwei wichtige industrielle Anwendungen von Gleichstrom-Überspannungsschutzgeräten sind die Telekommunikationsindustrie mit Mobilfunkmasten und die Solarindustrie mit Photovoltaik-Kraftwerken.
Although the solar industry is more variable in its utilization of both AC and DC currents, the primary use of DC is wider spread. While there are numerous products on the market which provide a minimal level of surge protection for these types of installations, Britec’s SPDs (surge protective devices) are an excellent selection due to their superior mechanical construction and benefits.
In PV (photovoltaic) applications, remote locations combined with large expanses of equipment once again provide an ideal attractant for lightning strikes. The installation of DC surge protection devices into inverters and at junction boxes provides a level of redundant protection that is unmatched in the industry.
DC surge protection requires SPD products that are specifically manufactured to protect configurations which utilize DC current. Surge protection should not be an afterthought, or a decision that is taken only after equipment damage has occurred. Contact Britec to discuss the most appropriate options for your installation. Retrofitting of existing installations as well as new configurations is available. Shouldn’t you be considering surge protection for your DC power application before it is too late?
