FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The PVD40-500-V-C is designed to protect
photovoltaic solar panel inverters from harmful
transients by diverting excess energy to earth from
+ve and –ve conductors to earth.
.
This model (PVD40-500-V-C) is designed for 450-
500vdc systems. If your power system is a
different voltage, this model is NOT suitable
.
Please contact your supplier for a suitable model to
suit your application.
OPERATION
The operational status of the unit is shown by a flag
indicator on the front of the unit. In normal operation,
the flag is green. If the unit becomes damaged, the
flag changes to red, indicating that replacement is
necessary. A contact alarm output is fitted to the
base of unit and will change over if the unit is faulty.
WARRANTY
Eaton warrants this unit against faulty parts and
workmanship for a period of 12 months from the date
of purchase. If this product fails to operate correctly,
please contact your Eaton representative. This
warranty doesn’t cover neglect or intentional misuse.
As this product is intended for use in electrically
harsh environments no claim is made of suitability for
purpose. This unit is designed to reduce the
likelihood of damage. Please also note that an
excessive surge, such as from a direct lightning strike
to the site or a power system fault, may cause
damage to the unit and render it inoperable. A unit
that has been damaged in this way is not
warrantable.
