Surge protection for photovoltaic systems Lightning and surge protection for photovoltaic systems Class I and II lightning and overvoltage protection Weidmüller‘s surge protection type PU I protects low-voltage consumer installations and electronic devices against direct lightning effects and overvoltages that can occur through atmospheric discharges (thunderstorms) or by switching operations (transients). The PU I- and II-series meet the requirements of Class I and II in accordance with IEC 61643-1:2008 and the type 1 and type 2 comply with EN 61643-1. Function indication, maintenance and homologations The PU II surge protection modules are provided with an optical control. The indicator is controlled by a thermal disconnection unit. If this unit has “answered”, there is no protection, so the colour of the indicator changes from green to red. A qualified person can replace the inoperative arrester without disconnecting the wiring. The pluggable varistor modules are coded in compliance with their voltage. Thus it is only possible to plug a suitable replacement varistor. Pluggable and codable protection elements Easy and safe exchange due to coded modules and bases. High leakage current High energy absorption with lmax: 40 kA (8/20 μm) and Uoc: 6 kV with short response time. High pulse currents with IImp up to a maximum of 30 kA (10/350 µs). 54 Surge protection for photovoltaic systems Telecommunication contact (change-over) Easy connection to superordinate control and signalling of the protective function’s status. Great variety Covers the lightning protection level (LPL) I to IV as well as the network types TN-C, TN-S, IT, TT.

This can lead to permanent damage and loss of the photovoltaic system. The use of lightning arresters and surge protection devices results in a higher system availability and better profit. Weidmüller offers a complete range for protection in accordance with IEC 60364-7-712 for the energy input for both roof-mounted systems and large-scale systems. External lightning protection available No external lightning protection available then an internal lightning protector is required (Class I) then an overvoltage protection is sufficient (Class II) TN-S / TT / IT TN-S TT Can be used with higher requirements in terms of availability and in public facilities Can be used for domestic installation and standard plants (Lightning protection level (LPL) I + II) (Lightning protection level (LPL) III + IV) PU I 1+1 LCF 280V/30KA Page 68 PU I 1+1 280V/12,5KA * Page 65 PU II 1+1 280V/40kA Page 66 PU I 3+1 LCF 280V/30KA Page 68 PU I 3+1 280V/12,5KA * Page 64 PU II 3+1 280V/40kA Page 66 PU I 3 LCF 280V/30KA Page 69 PU I 3 280V/12,5KA * Page 65 PU II 3 280V/40KA Page 67 IT TN-C TN-C Three-phase Single-phase In large-scale systems, the house shown relates to the inverter housing in the field. * leakage current free versions for installation in front of the meter can be found in TK 4.4 56 Surge protection for photovoltaic systems Surge protection on the PV generator side For the DC voltage side, Weidmüller also offers a complete range for protection with surge voltage arresters. These are suitable for both roof-mounted and large-scale systems alike. For cable lengths of more than 10 m between the PV generator and the inverter, protection is needed at both ends. This means that both the generators and the inverter are protected. External lightning protection available No external lightning protection available And that the separation distances are observed (Class II) (Class II) PU II 3/R 1,000 V DC PV (Tested according to the French standard in line with UTE C 61-740-51 and the prEN 50539-11:2010) Page 58 SPD II 3 PV (according to UL 1449 Ed. 3) Page 62 Failure to comply with the separation distance S If the separation distance S according to EN 62305 is not observed (S < min), then partial lightning currents need to be taken into account. There should be a shielded generator main line with sufficient cross-sectional area (min. 16 mm²) used. The adjacent picture shows an implementation that reaches LPZ 1. Here the surge protection from class II arrester can be installed in line with the standards (product selection, see above). Ready-made standard solutions Weidmuller offers an extensive range of combiner boxes with overvoltage protection for the DC side. It comprises solutions pre-wired for 1 to 16 string applications in various versions. The complete overview of our standard solutions can be found on pages 44 to 51. 57 Surge protection for photovoltaic systems (DC) DC surge protection in accordance with UTE PU II 3/R 1000 V DC PV Surge protection for photovoltaic applications, e.g. in France •Tested by UTE C 61-740-51 and the prEN 50539-11:2010 to install in Photovoltaic Systems •Pluggable class II surge protection •High discharge current of 40 kA (8/20 µs) •Optical function indicator red/green •Optional with remote signal contact •180° rotatable insert 11 12 14 - PE + OK U OK CHANGE OK CHANGE U CHANGE U Technical data Max. continious operating voltage UCPV mode +/-, -/PE, +/PE Requirements Nom. discharge current In (8/20 μs) Max. discharge current Imax (8/20 μs) Response time, ta, type Voltage protection level UP mode (+/-, -/PE, +/PE) Voltage protection level UP @ In (per module) Housing type Optical function indicator Signalling contact Design Ambient temperature (operational) Storage temperature Connection as per IEC 947-7-1w Solid conductor Stranded conductor Flexible conductor Approvals 1000 V DC Dimensions without telecomm. contact with telecomm. contact 25 / 4 / 25 25 / 4 / 25 97 x 54 x 64 90 x 54 x 64 Clamping range (rating- / min. / max.)

The protection element of the module can be removed, measured or replaced during operation without affecting the impedance and without breaking the instrumentation circuit of the wiring. These characteristics make the product an ideal protection element for interfaces in I&C systems. With the VARITECTOR SPC R modules, error detection and failure indication are effected via internal monitoring. A green LED indicates active protection. A red LED stands for failure. This information is forwarded to the V-Control evaluation module. From here it can be signalled, for instance, to a control unit. The V-TEST testing device, monitoring the function of VARITECTOR SPC, also facilitates the observance of service intervals. The testing method is in accordance with the IEC 62305 standard. A VARITECTOR SPC module can be used instead of a modular terminal when removing the protection module without affecting the impedance. Four binary or 2 analogue signals only require 17.8 mm of space on the mounting rail. Easy latching onto the earthed rail also saves time during installation. Colour codes mark the different voltage levels of all VARITECTOR SPC modules thus facilitating service during operation. The EMC-SET that is available as accessory, offers additional comfort for the connection of shielded cables. All VARITECTOR products are in compliance with the “overstress mode” required by the valid IEC 61643-21:2008 standard. Space saving Saving space in the control cabinet: 4 binary signals or 2 analogue signals at 17.8 mm In compliance with the norms For applications according to the IEC 62305: high impulse currents of up to 20 kA (8/20 µm) are safely discharged to PE. Tested according to the IEC 61643-21:2008 standard for classes D1, C2 and C1. 70 Surge protection for photovoltaic systems Monitoring Status indicator and alarm function: Protective functions for external evaluation Fast identification KATALOG Colour coding: Easy identification of different voltage levels in the control cabinet. ≤12 V = green 24 V = binary signal blue 24 V = analogue signal yellow 48 V = red 60 V = violet specific function = white 4.4 www.weidmueller.com Serbien Singapur Slowakei Slowenien Spanien Südafrika Taiwan Thailand Tschechien Tunesien Türkei Ukraine Ungarn Uruguay Usbekistan Venezuela Vereinigte Arabische Emirate Vereinigte Staaten Vietnam Weißrussland 4.4 2 0 11 Weidmüller ist weltweit führender Anbieter von Lösungen für die elektrische Verbindung, Übertragung und Wandlung von Energie, Signalen und Daten im industriellen Umfeld.

It is suited for use in measurement and control circuits. The size is made possible by the seletion of installation dimensions, with a width of 17.8 mm (1TE). Two versions are available: • VSPC: a surge protector with no monitoring function • VSPC R: a surge protector with monitoring function The base components are plugged in to form a direct earthing contact via the mounting rail. Thus you save time during the connection. The VARITECTOR SPC series is optimally designed for compact installation locations in process automation, industrial automation or building automation. The two-stage surge-protection base components are equipped with gas discharge tubes, suppressor diodes (TVS) and decoupling components. Individual protective components (such as gasfilled spark gaps, varistors and suppressor diodes) supplement this product line. IEC 62305 requires that a periodic inspection of surge protection products be conducted. The functionality of all VARITECTOR SPC modules can be tested using testing General technical data -40 °C…+80 °C Operating temperature Air humidity Material Connection -40 °C…+70 °C 5 %…96 % RH with no condensation V0, IP20 screw connection 0.6 x 3.5 DIN 5264 (for example, 0.6x3.5x200, order no. 9010110000) 0.5 Nm 0.8 Nm 7 mm 0.5…4 mm² 0.5…2.5 mm² 0.5...2.5 mm² screw connection 0.4 x 2.0 DIN 5264 (for example, SD 0.4x2.0x60, order no. 9037160000) 0.2 Nm 6...6.5 mm 0,5...1.5 mm² rated torque max. torque stripping length solid flexible wire-end ferrule with plastic collar Remote signalling connection screwdriver blade max. torque stripping length solid Dimensions L/H/W 90 mm / 69 mm / 17.8 mm length with remote signalling contact 98 mm 72 A testing instrument, available as a Weidmüller accessory, allows you to test the protective element in compliance with the IEC 62305-3 directive. The accessory also includes a simple mechanism for applying the wire shield. Accessories Storage temperature screwdriver blade equipment (such as the V-TEST) that is available separately. The VARITECTOR SPC R modules also feature an internal monitoring function. The green LED signals when the protection function is ready. The red LED signals an error. Up to ten modules can be wired together in series. The modules signaling an evaluative module (the VSPC CONTROL UNIT) in the event of an error. VARITECTOR SPC-series surge protection is available with rated voltages of 5 V, 12 V, 24 V, 48 V and 60 V. The product‘s voltage level is colour-coded on the pluggable arrester. An earthing contact is established by snapping onto an earthed TS35 rail. The TS35 must be earthed in order to ensure safe power discharging via the terminals of up to 20 kA (8/20 µs) and 2.5 kA (10/350 µs). The rail must be screwed onto the earthed mounting plate for reasons of EMC. In order to optimize the protective function, a PE-contact connection should be made over the VSPC module every 60 cm for equipotential bonding. The pluggable protective element can be pulled out during operations without interrupting the measurement circuit.
