AC Surge Protection Device (SPD)
The AC SPD is a device designed to protect the inverter from Voltage spikes and surge
attempts forming on the AC grid lines. The SPD limits the Voltage supplied to the
inverter by either blocking or shorting to ground Voltages above a safe threshold. The
SPD is installed inside the inverter and communicates with the SolarEdge Monitoring
platform for reporting surge protection events and faults.
For installation and configuration of AC SPD, refer to:

DC Surge Protection Device (SPD)
The DC SPD is a device designed to protect the inverter from Voltage spikes and surge
attempts forming on the DC lines of the PV strings. The SPD limits the Voltage supplied
to the inverter by either blocking or shorting to ground Voltages above a safe
threshold. The SPD is installed inside the inverter and communicates with the SolarEdge
Monitoring platform for reporting surge protection events and faults.
