FAQ

Here you can find some of your common questions related to DC SPD, which can help answer your doubts.

What are the main differences between DC Surge Protection Devices (DC SPD) and AC Surge Protection Devices (AC SPD) in practice?

DC SPDs are specifically designed for DC circuits, with distinct arc-extinguishing and DC voltage withstanding capabilities compared to AC SPDs. While AC SPDs handle periodically changing currents, DC SPDs must manage continuous DC current with higher arc-extinguishing requirements. They are primarily used in DC systems such as photovoltaic installations, energy storage systems, and electric vehicle charging stations.

How should DC SPD installation locations be selected for optimal protection?

Install DC SPDs at key locations near protected equipment, including pv combiner boxes, DC input terminals of inverters, DC bus side of energy storage systems, and DC distribution cabinets. Make sure the installation is as close to the protected equipment as possible while keeping the shortest possible grounding path to keep the residual voltage down.

What is the MOQ (minimum order quantity) for an order?

Our MOQ is according to the product and customized service. Please check services. You can also consult our expert team.

What do the indicator lights and remote signaling contacts on DC SPDs mean? How can we verify proper operation?

LETOP DC SPDs have visual fault indicators (green for normal operation, red for fault) and/or remote signaling contacts. When an SPD fails after absorbing a large surge, the indicator window changes color and the remote contact sends an alarm signal. Users should check indicators regularly and connect to remote monitoring systems for timely detection and replacement of failed units.

How do harsh environments (high temperature, humidity, dust) affect LETOP DC SPD performance and lifespan?

LETOP DC SPDs are engineered for harsh environments using high-performance materials and advanced sealing techniques, with extensive environmental testing. When operated within specified temperature and humidity ranges, performance and lifespan remain unaffected.

Does LETOP offer customization options beyond standard OEM/ODM services?

Yes, LETOP welcomes special customization requests including non-standard dimensions, custom housing colors, specialized terminal configurations, and integrated functional modules. Our R&D team looks at feasibility and comes up with custom solutions.

Should I choose a 1000V or 1500V DC SPD for a 900V system?

For 900V systems, we recommend selecting an SPD with 1000V maximum continuous operating voltage (Uc/Ucpv), providing adequate safety margin. While 1500V SPDs are compatible, they may be more expensive and potentially less effective in terms of residual voltage protection (Up) compared to the more appropriately matched 1000V units. Selection should consider system parameters including maximum open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current.

What's the advantage of LETOP's DC SPD technology compared to other companies?

LETOP's main advantage is our MOV chip core technology, which gives us superior performance across a wide range of voltages and excellent DC arc-extinguishing abilities. Our automated production lines and German Rhine Academy UA Laboratory-certified testing facilities ensure consistent quality and rigorous performance verification.

Which installation positions and wiring methods are recommended for DC SPDs in pv systems?

DC SPDs should be installed in combiner boxes, inverter DC inputs, and DC distribution boxes. We provide detailed installation manuals and application guides with detailed mounting locations, wiring diagrams, and grounding requirements to ensure optimal protection.

What warranty and after-sales support does LETOP provide for DC SPD products?

LETOP hooks it up with a standard 18-month warranty. After-sales support includes product consultations, technical support, fault diagnosis, failure analysis, and replacement services, with commitment to getting back to customers quickly and providing professional customer support.
