Surge Protection for PV
The company
CITEL, a French company founded in 1937, has been manufacturing surge protection since 1945. CITEL offers a complete range of surge protection adapted to various networks including Low Voltage, Telecom, Data, Radiocom. Since 2005, CITEL has developed a range of surge protection and integrated enclosure solutions specifically for the photovoltaic market.
CITEL's mission is to bring high-performance solutions compliant with the worlds leading standards in order to insure the best efficiency and reliability of your photovoltaic system.
Protection of PV devices against transient overvoltages
Most of the solar module manufacturers offer a warranty of 20 years or more on their products. The cost of such devices is then calculated on this very long period. However those installations are very regularly exposed to lightnings and overvoltages, which can considerably reduce the desired life expectancy. The use of adapted surge protections is then highly recommended. Several aspects have to be considered to evaluate the risk "Lightning and Overvoltages" :
The more the solar panel field is expanded, the more
Surge Protectors for PV devices

The photovoltaic installation can be exposed to overvoltages on different networks :
the risk of "lightning" issue is important.

The risk is multiple : direct effect (lightning impact

When the Photovoltaic devices are located on industrial
- DC network : surge protectors are necessary, sometimes mandatory, on the continuous network in between the modules and the PV inverter.
sites, the risk of operation overvoltages should be taken in account as well.

The risks level is directly linked to the density of local
lightning and the exposure of the lines.
- Data Network : if the PV inverter is linked to data lines (transducers, sensors, supervision) surge protectors are sometimes required.
Surge Protectors for PV installations - AC side

The connection of the PV to low voltages should be protected according to the Guide UTE C15-712 recommandation. Depending on the kind of network, the presence of lightning rod or on primary existing surge protectors, CITEL proposes several solutions.

Surge Protectors for Data Lines

The PV installation can be interconnected to different data networks (transducers, sensors, supervision..). In that case the use of adapted surge protectors on those networks is recommended.

Surge Protectors for PV installations - DC side

The DC input of the inverters should be protected according to the recommandations of the UTE C15712 Guide. Citel has developped a whole range of products devoted to this application : DS50PV. This one proposes several solutions : DS50PV : standard solution using specific varistors, available in common or differential mode. DS50PV-.../G : version including a branch with gas tube linked to the ground, allowing the total suppression of leakage current. Protection in common and differential mode.

When the installation is equipped with lightning rods, it is recommanded to use surge protectors specifically designed to dissipate a part of the direct impact of the lightning. For those cases, CITEL has developped the DS60PV series Type 1 surge protectors being able to take up 12.5 kA a pole for a 10/350s wave.
