Low-voltage surge protective devices-Surge protective devices connected to the d.c. side of photovoltaic installations. Selection and application principles
低压浪涌保护器
BS IEC 61643-32:2017 describes the principles for selection, installation and coordination of
SPDs intended for use in Photovoltaic (PV) systems up to 1 500 V DC and for the AC side of
the PV system rated up to 1 000 V rms 50/60 Hz.The photovoltaic installation extends from a PV array or a set of interconnected PV-modules
to include the associated cabling and protective devices and the inverter up to the connection
point in the distribution board or the utility supply point.This part of IEC 61643 considers SPDs used in different locations and in different kinds of PV
systems:PV systems located on the top of a building.PV systems located on the ground like free field power plants characterized by multiple
earthing and a meshed earthing system.The term PV installation is used to refer to both kinds of PV systems. The term PV power
plant is only used for extended free-field multi-earthed power systems located on the ground.
For PV installations including batteries additional requirements may be necessary.Cross References:IEC 61643-21:2000IEC 61643-12:2008IEC 60364-5-54:2011IEC 61643-31:2018IEC 62305-4:2010ITU-T K20:2000 (E)IEC 60364-5-53:2001IEC 61000-4-5:2014IEC 60364-4-44:2007/AMD1:2015IEC 60364-4-44:2007IEC 60364-7-712:2017ITU-T K21:2000 (E)IEC 61643-11:2011IEC 62305-2:2010IEC 62305-3:2010IEC 60664-1:2007IEC 61643-22:2015IEC 62305-1:2010IEC TR 62066:2002IEC 60904-3:2016IEC 62561All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
