Selection Tips
-
Voltage Rating: Choose SPD according to the nominal DC voltage of your system (e.g., 70V DC or 280V DC).
-
Connection Type:
-
“SB” = Screw connection (traditional wiring)
-
“BB” = Push-in connection (tool-free quick wiring)
-
-
Poles: For multi-line or balanced DC systems, use the 3-pole version (e.g., CN-UB-280DC-3-SB).
-
Base Module Compatibility:
-
SB models use CN-UB/E base.
-
BB models use CN-UB/E-BB base.
