#1. Solar SPD

A surge protection device (SPD) shields your electrical installation from transient overvoltage or electrical power surges by redirecting the current to the ground via earthing. Briefly, it diminishes the effect of a surge and prevents the installation from getting damaged. 

An SPD protects the electrical wiring, accessories, consumer unit and other sensitive electronic gadgets. Hence, it reduces the risk of damage and instant failure to the electrical equipment.

Why do you need an SPD?

Whenever the voltage increases in an electrical line wheather it is DC line or AC, it significantly resulting in damaging the wiring insulation and electrical gadgets. 

Hence, the electrical installation at your premises needs to be protected against overvoltage to prevent the following consequences-

  • Interruption in services or activities
  • Damage to electrical gadgets connected at the time of power spike
  • Damage to cultural heritage
  • Serious injury or loss
  • Damage to the surrounding 

Hence an SPD is mandatory to reduce the safety risk factor.

#2. DC MCB

A DC MCB is a solar protection device that is used in DC circuits to protect the appliances from over-current. The device optimises the flow of current and ensures complete protection against short-circuiting.

The voltage used in DC MCB is direct current states. It automatically senses the spike in ampere and trip within seconds to break the DC circuit. Talking about the physical parameters of the device, the DC MCB are equipped with green and red colour indicators.
