Description
The Cooper Bussmann®modular Surge Protective Device (SPD) (with
two-step DC switching device) features
easy
ID™ visual indication and
optional remote contact signaling (floating changeover contact) for use
in photovoltaic systems.
This complete surge protective device is suitable for all PV systems in
accordance with UL 1449 3rdEdition and IEC 60364-7-712. Includes
a five year limited warranty.
This prewired solution consist of a base and locking modules that
feature a combined disconnection and short-circuiting (shunting)
device with safe electrical isolation to prevent fire damage due to DC
arcs. An integrated DC fuse allows safe module replacement without
arc formation.
In case of insulation faults in the generator circuit, a reliable and
tested fault-resistant circuit prevents damage to the surge
protective devices.

Visual Status Indication
Short-Circuit Interrupting (SCI) Technology
The green and red visual indicator flags show the module
protective status (green = good, red = replace). Apart from this
visual indication, the remote signaling option features a three
terminal floating changeover contact that can be used as a
make or break contact depending on the particular monitoring
system design employed.
