CENELEC and/or CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This standard covers the Principle Elements of the Safety Objectives for Electr
33、ical Equipment Designed for Use within Certain Voltage Limits (LVD - 2006/95/EC). - 6 - 1 Scope This European Standard defines the requirements and tests for SPDs intended to be installed on the d.c. side of photovoltaic installations to protect against induced and direct lightning effects. These de
34、vices are connected to d.c. power circuits of photovoltaic generators, rated up to 1 500 V. It takes into account that photovoltaic generators: behave like curent generators, that their nominal curent depends on the light intensity, that their short-circuit curent is almost equal to the nominal cure
35、nt, are connected in series and/or paralel combinations leading to a great variety of voltages, curentsand powers from a few hundreds of W (in residential installations) to several MW (photovoltaicfields).The very specific electrical parameters of PV installations on the d.c. side require specific t
36、est requirements for SPDs. SPDs with separate input and output terminal(s) that contain a specific series impedance between these terminal(s) (so called two port SPDs according to EN 61643-11) are currently not sufficiently covered by the requirements of this standard and require additional consider
37、ation. NOTE In general SPDs for PV applications do not contain a specific series impedance between the input/output terminals due to power efficiency considerations. SPDs complying with this standard are exclusively dedicated to be installed on the d.c. side of photovoltaic generators. PV installati
38、on including batteries and other d.c. applications are not taken into account and additional requirements and tests may be necessary for such applications. SPDs for which the manufacturers declares short circuit mode overload behaviour, shall require specific measures to ensure that such devices wil
39、l not endanger the operator during maintenance and replacement due to possible d.c. arcing. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
