Function
The surge protective device (SPD) protects photovoltaic systems and connected equipment from transient overvoltages caused by lightning or switching events.
Using VG technology (varistor + gas tube), it safely diverts surge energy to ground while maintaining zero leakage current and ensuring long service life.
It provides effective common-mode and differential-mode protection for PV arrays and downstream equipment.
