Table of Content [Hide]

    DC Power Surge Protector configuration requirements standard is usually determined based on the specific application scenarios and the characteristics of the equipment that need protection.


    Common DC Power Surge Protector  configuration requirement standards


    • Rated voltage and discharge current: The parameters should be determined based on the rated voltage and discharge current of the equipment needing protection. Generally, the DC Power Surge Protector's rated voltage should be slightly higher than that of the protected equipment, and the discharge current should be greater than the equipment's rated working current.

    • Overvoltage protection level: Different levels of overvoltage protection functionality can be selected according to specific scenario needs. Generally, the higher the overvoltage protection level, the stronger the protection capability of the SPD.

    • Reverse protection: For DC power circuits that need protection, if there is a reverse voltage condition, anSPD with reverse protection function should be chosen.

    • Inverter power protection: For equipment such as inverter power supplies that need protection, choose anSPDwith inverter power protection function to protect the inverter and its related circuits.

    • Installation method: Depending on the specific application scenarios and the characteristics of the equipment that need protection, different installation methods can be selected. Generally, theDC Power Surge Protector  can choose from plug-in, wall-mounted, and other different installation methods.


    What are the installation methods for DC Power Surge Protector?


    • Direct installation: Directly install theSPD on the DC power line. This is generally suitable for situations where the DC power line is simple, such as standalone power supply equipment. Direct installation can make theSPD's operation more reliable and stable.

    • Parallel installation: Connect theSPD in parallel between the positive and negative poles of the DC power supply. This is generally suitable for situations that have higher requirements for theSPD, such as higher voltage endurance and capacity. Parallel installation can improve theSPD's working effectiveness and safety.

    • Series installation: Connect theSPD in series between the positive and negative poles of the DC power supply. This is generally suitable for situations that have higher voltage endurance requirements for theSPD, such as using it in high voltage environments. Series installation can improve theSPD's voltage endurance and stability.

    • Cabinet installation: Install theSPD inside the cabinet of the DC power equipment. This is generally suitable for situations where the power equipment is more complex. Cabinet installation can effectively prevent theSPD from being collided with or damaged by external objects, protecting theSPD's safety and reliability.


    When choosing an installation method, it is necessary to consider the specific situation of the power equipment, the model and characteristics of theSPD, and other factors. Choose the appropriate installation method according to the need to achieve the best lightning protection effect and safety. At the same time, relevant safety operation procedures should be followed during the installation process to ensure installation quality and personnel safety.
