Retrofit kit DC surge arrester
The SMA DC_SPD_KIT3-10-SV is a retrofit DC surge protection device kit designed to be integrated into compatible SMA inverters already in service, providing overvoltage protection on the DC side of a photovoltaic system.
This kit supplies all necessary components for a compliant and reliable installation on existing solar setups.
SMA DC Surge Arrester Retrofit Kit – Overview
Protecting a photovoltaic installation against voltage surges — whether caused by lightning strikes or switching transients — is a fundamental requirement for long-term system reliability. The SMA DC_SPD_KIT3-10-SV retrofit kit enables the addition of a DC-side surge protective device (SPD) to compatible SMA inverters that are already installed and operational.
This solution is intended for system owners and installers looking to bring an existing installation up to current protection standards, or to meet insurance and grid operator requirements regarding surge protection.

Installation and Compatibility
This kit is designed exclusively for retrofit use on compatible SMA inverters. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician or solar installer, in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines and applicable local electrical standards. Compatibility with the specific inverter model must be verified before proceeding with the installation.
Application and Use Cases
The DC_SPD_KIT3-10-SV is suitable for grid-connected photovoltaic systems, including self-consumption installations with or without feed-in of surplus energy. It provides protection for the inverter against DC-side overvoltage events, helping to extend the operational lifespan of the equipment.
Depending on the installation configuration and local regulations, the addition of a DC surge protective device may be mandatory or strongly recommended by insurers and network operators.
