Steca Overvoltage Protection Unit

The Steca TA OP1 overvoltage protection unit is a connection socket in a splash-proof IP65 protective case and serves to protect the collector sensor against local lightning strikes and externally induced voltage spikes.

 A varistor protective diode protects against atmospheric overvoltages that can lead to the destruction of the collector sensor. The use of the Steca TA OP1 is generally recommended for extra protection of the collector sensor in any type of solar thermal system. In addition, the simple operation of the spring terminals allows rapid and simple installation of the collector sensors using a sensor extension cable.
