DEHN DCU 2 YPV 1100 1S MC4 FM DCU 2 FM GAK Typ 2 prepäťová ochrana pre PV zariadenia (900911,0)

The DEHN DCU 2 YPV 1100 1S MC4 FM is a Type 2 surge protective device engineered specifically for photovoltaic systems operating up to 1100 V DC. Unlike generic SPDs, it combines a high-energy varistor with an integrated SCI fuse, providing both surge protection and short-circuit withstand capability of 1000 A DC in a single compact unit. This eliminates the need for separate fusing and simplifies installation on 35 mm DIN rails.

Highlights

• Type 2 SPD for PV applications per EN 50539-11 / IEC 61643-31
• Maximum continuous operating voltage Ucpv: 1100 V DC
• Nominal discharge current (8/20 µs): 20 kA; maximum discharge current: 40 kA
• Voltage protection level Up ≤ 4.0 kV
• Integrated SCI fuse for short-circuit withstand up to 1000 A DC
• Remote signalling contact (potential-free changeover) for status monitoring
• Compact 3-module width (approx. 54 mm) for DIN rail mounting
• Operating temperature range: -40 °C to +80 °C; IP20 protection

In daily use

Installed in the DC combiner box or inverter input, the DCU 2 YPV 1100 1S MC4 FM protects PV strings from transient overvoltages caused by lightning or switching operations. Its red thermoplastic housing (UL 94 V-0) and screw terminals ensure reliable connection. The remote signalling contact allows integration into monitoring systems, providing immediate indication of device status.
