500V Suntree Series Surge Protector SUP2H-PV SPD 2 Poles 500V 20-40KA

Product Overview

• Full Title: 500V Suntree Series Surge Protector SUP2H-PV SPD 2 Poles 500V 20-40KA
• Brand/Manufacturer: Suntree.
• Price: KSh 4,999.00
• Availability: In stock.
• Key Role in Solar Systems: Protects DC side of PV installations (e.g., between panels/combiner box and inverter) from surge damage, extending equipment life and preventing costly failures. Type 2 SPD diverts surges to ground via high-energy MOVs (metal oxide varistors), with thermal disconnectors for safety.

Features & Benefits

• Lightning & Surge Defense: Handles up to 40kA surges—vital in coastal areas prone to frequent lightning strikes during wet seasons, protecting panels, inverters, and batteries from catastrophic damage.
• Dual-Mode Protection: Shields both common (to ground) and differential (between lines) modes for comprehensive DC safety.
• Quick Response & Safety: Thermal cut-off prevents overheating/fires; failure indicator signals when module needs replacement (easy plug-in replacement in many Suntree designs).
• Coastal Durability: Robust build suits humid, salty environments; recommend mounting in a waterproof enclosure (IP65+) for outdoor use near the beach.
• Easy Integration: DIN rail mount fits standard combiner boxes or panels; install at both ends of DC lines (panel side + inverter side) for best protection in long external runs common in Kenyan solar setups.

Applications in Coastal Kenya Solar Systems

• DC surge protection in off-grid, hybrid, or grid-tied PV setups (e.g., after combiner box or before inverter).
• Essential for rooftop/ground-mounted arrays in Kilifi County—where lightning risks are high and surges can fry expensive components.
• Complements your existing lineup: Pair with Suntree DC Isolating Switch Waterproof Bus Box (isolation), DC MCB breakers (overload protection), 6mm PV cable/MC4 connectors (wiring), and ATS (power switching) for complete, safe coastal solar kits.
