Overview
The DPVN1-VG is CITEL's series of Type 1+2+3 surge protective devices specifically designed for photovoltaic installations. It combines two CITEL-patented technologies: VG Technology, ensuring no leakage current and increased reliability, and CTC Technology, an integrated thermosensitive separation point that provides safe disconnection. The device is compact, DIN-rail mounted and fitted with a mechanical fault indicator for straightforward installation and maintenance.
