- Vendor: Tongou
Specifications
Product Description
The DC 1000V 3P Tongou TOSP 20KA-40KA Surge Protector protects photovoltaic systems up to 1000 V DC with topologies requiring three poles (for example, strings with specific configuration or multi-input combiner boxes). Its Type 2 architecture, plug-in modules, and visual signaling simplify maintenance, while its high discharge capacity safeguards panels, wiring, and inverters against surges from lightning and switching operations.
Main Features
- Ucpv 1000 V DC; In 20 kA (8/20) and Imax 40 kA (8/20).
- Typical residual voltage Up ≈ 4.0 kV at 1000 V DC; Iimp ≈ 6.5 kA (10/350).
- Response time < 25 ns; high protection against fast transients.
- Plug-in modules with green/red window and front extraction for replacement.
- DIN 35 mm mounting; tightening torque approx. 2 N·m; stripping 12 mm; terminals up to 25–35 mm².
- Environmental range −40…+70 °C; IP20 in suitable enclosure.
Advantages or Benefits
- Balanced protection of strings and inverter input, reducing failures and downtime.
- Lower operating cost thanks to replaceable cartridges and visual diagnostics.
- Possibility of signaling to PLC/SCADA via optional auxiliary contact.
- Compact and tidy installation in photovoltaic panels.
- Compliance with IEC 61643-31 for demanding PV DC environments.
Purpose or Applications
Recommended for use in combiner boxes, string panels, and near inverters in 1000 V DC systems for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. Suitable for rooftop, ground-mounted, and solar carport structures.
