Modular DIN Rail SPD Solutions
Description
The Cooper Bussmann® multi-pole, modular Surge Protective Device
(SPD) (with three-step DC switching device) features easyID™ visual
indication and optional remote contact signaling (floating changeover
contact) for use in PV systems.
These complete surge protective devices are suitable for all
PV systems in accordance with UL 1449 3rd Edition and
IEC 60364-7-712. Includes a five year limited warranty.
These prewired solutions consist of a base and locking modules that
feature a combined disconnection and short-circuiting (shunting)
device with safe electrical isolation to prevent fire damage due to DC
arcs. An integrated DC fuse allows safe module replacement without
arc formation.
In case of insulation faults in the generator circuit, a reliable and
tested fault-resistant Wye circuit prevents damage to the surge
protective devices.

The Need for Surge Protection
The unique nature of Wind Power installations make
them vulnerable to overvoltages and surges from
lightning strikes and static discharges.
These surges need to be intercepted before they take
down the entire system by damaging the Wind Power
arrays, charge controller/inverter and combiner boxes.
In any Wind Power system, it is vital that surge
suppressor elements that are subject to wear, are easily
monitored for performance.
The Cooper Bussmann Wind Power Surge Suppression
systems provide standard easyID™ visual indication
and remote contact signaling to keep system
maintainers apprised of the protection level being
delivered.
Safe and Simple
•IP20 Finger-safe construction and suppressor
rejection feature make it easy to know the suppressor
system is installed and properly operating to protect
your Wind Power system investment.
•Simply specify the system voltage and whether the
remote contact signaling is desired.
