DEHN DG MP YPV 1200 FM prepäťová ochrana Typ 2 pre PV systémy do 1170 V DC 942565

In photovoltaic installations with long DC cable runs, lightning-induced surges can destroy inverters and modules. The DEHN DG MP YPV 1200 FM surge arrester protects PV systems up to 1170 V DC by safely diverting surge currents to ground. Its three-pole design covers all protection paths: DC+ to DC-, DC+ to PE, and DC- to PE. With a nominal discharge current of 20 kA and maximum discharge current of 40 kA, it handles high-energy surges. The integrated thermal disconnector and visual status indicator ensure safe operation, while the floating changeover contact enables remote monitoring. Mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail, it fits standard distribution boards.
