Surge protection

for photovoltaic
systems
For applications up to 1500 V DC
Surge protection for
photovoltaic systems with
up to 1500 V DC
The VAL-MB product range now has
powerful and compact protective devices
available for photovoltaic applications with
a generator voltage of up to 1500 V.
They are available as type 1 and type 2
combined lightning current and surge
arresters as well as type 2 only surge
arrester protective devices. All products
have a short-circuit protection of 2000 A,
meaning that they are exceptionally reliable.

Double terminal block for safe and easy

equipotential bonding conductor connection

Visual display for checking the status

directly on the device
