KAEL KA-SPD-2PDC 2P 1000V DC Surge Protection Device

The KAEL KA-SPD-2PDC is a 2-pole 1000V DC surge protection device designed to help protect DC electrical systems from transient overvoltage and surge events. It is particularly suitable for solar PV installations, DC distribution panels, combiner boxes and other applications where reliable protection against voltage surges is required.

With a rated voltage of 1000V DC, this SPD is designed for higher-voltage DC systems commonly used in modern solar installations. The device provides protection against transient surges that can occur because of lightning activity, switching operations and other electrical disturbances. For solar installers and electrical professionals, adding suitable DC surge protection can help reduce the risk of damage to connected equipment such as solar inverters and other DC-side components.

The KAEL KA-SPD-2PDC features a 2-pole configuration for DC protection and is designed for DIN rail mounting. This makes it practical for installation inside suitable distribution boards, PV protection boxes and electrical enclosures. Its compact DIN rail format also helps keep the panel installation organised while providing dedicated surge protection.

This model is specified with a nominal discharge current of up to 20kA and a maximum discharge current of up to 40kA. The published product specifications also identify it as a Type 2 surge protective device. These ratings make it important to select and install the SPD according to the actual DC system voltage, earthing arrangement and protection requirements of the installation.

For customers searching for a KAEL KA-SPD-2PDC in Pakistan, HN Electric can position this product as a practical solution for solar and DC-side surge protection. Before installation, the system voltage and complete protection arrangement should always be checked by a qualified electrician or solar professional.

If you need a 1000V DC surge protection device for a solar PV system or DC electrical panel, the KAEL KA-SPD-2PDC offers a compact 2-pole DIN rail solution with high surge-current handling capability.
