Product Overview

LMDS‑C40‑PV series is Type‑2 surge protective device specially developed for 500Vdc photovoltaic DC side circuits. It is widely installed inside PV combiner boxes to absorb lightning induced surges and transient over‑voltage, safeguarding solar panels, DC wiring and PV inverters from surge damage.
Adopts modular plug‑in structure with visual status indicator window. When internal protection module fails, the indicator changes color for quick maintenance judgment. Standard DIN‑rail mounting fits low‑voltage cabinet installation. Complies with IEC 61643‑31 international standard, suitable for on‑grid and off‑grid solar power plants, rooftop PV systems and distributed photovoltaic projects.

Key Product Features

Specially Designed for 500Vdc PV DC System

Optimized DC voltage withstand characteristic, stable performance under long‑term photovoltaic DC working voltage, avoid thermal runaway risk.

T2 Surge Capacity: In 20kA, Imax 40kA

Strong surge discharge capability, effectively restrain lightning induced transient over‑voltage for solar DC loops.

2‑Pole Structure for DC+ and DC‑

Independent protection for positive and negative DC lines, complete surge protection for photovoltaic DC circuit.

Plug‑In Modular Replaceable Module

Faulty cartridge can be replaced directly without dismantling main base, convenient and fast on‑site maintenance.

Visual Status Indicator Window

Green for normal working status; color‑changed window reminds module failure, easy on‑site inspection without power‑off testing.

Standard DIN‑Rail Mounting

Matches standard 35mm DIN rail, simple installation inside solar combiner box and distribution cabinets, save cabinet space.

Compliant with IEC 61643‑31 Standard

Pass relevant type test, CE marked, suitable for global photovoltaic project application.

Application Scenarios

‑ Rooftop residential & commercial photovoltaic power systems

‑ On‑grid and off‑grid solar power plant DC combiner boxes

‑ Distributed PV project DC side over‑voltage protection

‑ Solar inverter front‑end lightning surge protection

‑ New‑energy DC distribution cabinets for photovoltaic projects

Our Advantages

  1. PV‑oriented DC SPD design

    Optimized for long‑term DC photovoltaic working condition, lower risk of aging and thermal failure compared with AC‑type SPD mis‑used on DC side.

  2. Modular quick‑replace structure

    Only replace failed plug‑in module instead of whole unit, reduce maintenance cost for solar sites.

  3. Clear visual fault indication

    Field technicians can judge SPD health status at a glance without measuring instruments.

  4. Strict surge performance testing

    Every batch undergoes surge current test, DC voltage aging test before delivery to guarantee stability for solar outdoor projects.

  5. Complete technical documentation support

    Provide dimension drawings, wiring diagrams and datasheets for solar project design and tender bidding. Fast overseas technical support.

FAQ

Q1: What is LMDS‑C40‑PV SPD used for?

A: It is T2‑type DC surge protective device installed on photovoltaic DC side combiner box, protecting inverters and DC equipment from lightning‑induced surge over‑voltage.

Q2: What does the indicator window mean?

A: Green = normal working condition; color‑changed status means the protection module reaches end‑of‑life and needs replacement.

Q3: Can AC‑type SPD replace PV‑DC SPD?

A: Not recommended. AC surge protective devices are not designed for long‑term DC photovoltaic voltage, may cause premature aging and thermal hazard. Must use dedicated PV DC SPD.

Q4: Is this unit DIN‑rail mountable?

A: Yes, it fits standard 35 mm DIN rail, widely used inside PV combiner boxes.

Q5: Can I replace only the failed module?

A: Yes, plug‑in modular design, you can pull out and replace single faulty cartridge without removing the base.

Q6: Do you support OEM private‑label service for distributors?

A: Yes, logo and marking customization is available, certain MOQ is required for OEM service.

Q7: What technical documents can you provide?

A: We can provide dimension drawing, wiring diagram, datasheet and related test reports for solar project design and tender submission.
