DEHNcombo YPV
Lightning and surge protection for PV systems
The DEHNcombo YPV is a versatile, high-performance surge protection solution for electrical equipment and facilities, including photovoltaic systems, shielding critical components from direct lightning strikes and transient surges.
Built for flexibility, it seamlessly supports photovoltaic power supply systems of any scale, from residential rooftops to expansive solar free-field systems.
When every second counts, don’t let power disruptions cost you
Solar PV systems, like many external electrical systems installed in outdoor environments, face constant threats from transient surges and direct lightning strikes. When left vulnerable, even a brief surge can cripple photovoltaic generator circuits and critical energy infrastructure, halting production, corrupting critical data, and inflicting heavy financial losses. For operations that depend on seamless energy flow, every second of downtime adds up, threatening profitability and stability.
The DEHNcombo YPV addresses this threat by providing a proactive layer of protection so that mission-critical solar installations remain resilient and deliver dependable PV voltage flow while mitigating the risk of outages and costly losses.
The DEHNcombo YPV keeps your solar infrastructure safe
The DEHNcombo YPV is a comprehensive protection concept consisting of type 1 + type 2 combined arrester specifically crafted for photovoltaic systems.
Providing reliable transient surge and internal lightning protection, the DEHNcombo YPV features a varistor-based design that reacts rapidly to overvoltage events by diverting excess energy to the ground, shielding the DC side of photovoltaic inverters, combiner boxes, and PV modules for free-field systems, rooftop arrays, and floating systems.
Product specifications include:
- Dual-function protection: Prewired type 1 + type 2 combined arrester safeguards against both lightning and transient surges.
- High surge capacity: Handles up to 10 kA without needing an additional backup fuse.
- Universal voltage compatibility: Consistent rated voltage across all protection modes, suitable for earthed PV systems.
- Space-saving design: Slim profile to optimize space on a mounting-type DIN rail.
- Touch-safe build: Ensures safe handling, eliminating the need for extra covers.
- Clear status indicators: Visual flags in the inspection window for easy monitoring.
- Remote monitoring device: Equipped for remote signaling to track system health.
- Standards compliant: Approved for use in PV systems per IEC 60364-7-712.
The DEHNcombo YPV delivers robust surge and lightning protection for your PV system. With its advanced varistor-based technology and flexible monitoring features, it ensures continuous energy flow and safeguards valuable solar infrastructure, from smaller arrays to multi-megawatt systems, across a range of applications.
