DC Surge Protective Device Type 2 Phoenix Contact 1466772 VAL-SPP-T2-1000DC-PV-2+V-UT
The Phoenix Contact VAL-SPP-T2-1000DC-PV-2+V-UT (article number 1466772) is a Type 2 (class II) surge protective device from the Safe Protection Plus family, intended for the direct current side of photovoltaic systems with a continuous operating voltage of up to 1200 V DC. It is mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail in the DC combiner box, between the strings and the inverter, and limits the surges of indirect atmospheric and switching origin that travel along the string cables.
The device is built in a Y configuration (2+V), with three protection paths — DC+ / DC−, DC+ / PE and DC− / PE — obtained on a three-position base with three pluggable, thermally monitored protection elements. Each cartridge has optical fault indication, so the operator can identify the element to be replaced at a glance. The UT suffix indicates the base with universal screw terminals, which accept solid conductors up to 25 mm², while the IP20C rating guarantees protection against contact with the test finger once the device is installed.
