Mohammad Electric ⚡💡 🇲🇶 :
and the installation was neatly done 👍 Next time add fire extinguisher breaker back to ur question 1, lightening is the primary cause 2, poor eathing can result to that 3, allso check its ratings before installing 4, Bad product can lead to that

Hardware House Ltd. :
every SPD comes with a lifespan limit of the amount of Voltage and current surge it can divert through its lifetime. after that limit is exceeded, it explodes like this when another surge enters. Another reason might be direct lightning injection which most SPDs can't stand. a direct strike can inject up to 50,000V. Another reason might be bad earthing in the main building. if the SPD can't find where to divert that excess surge, Ie, the ground, that voltage will be trapped between the SPD, and the earth cable, and every sounding conductor could receive some strokes

The truth is, one of the functions of an SPD is to sacrifice itself to protect other equipments. However, if well connected and breakers properly sized it would rarely get to this point. Recently discovered that the correct way to connect an SPD is to connect it to the output side of the breaker it working not the input side.

Gideon :
The problem with us is that we always look for an explanation for everything. The main reason for everything there is to protect either the panels, inverter or the load, and note, there is no amount of equipment in this world that can protect anything or anyone against thunder, it just depends on the amount of thunder that hits it...and in the process doing so, it's either the protector gets destroyed or the protected gets destroyed. If the breaker is very strong/stubborn, it will be the one to be destroyed thereby succeeding in protecting the load, therefore the next option is to replace the breaker with exact previous type or a stronger type in case the scenario occurs again and stop looking for why it got destroyed by thunder

ge2609087 :
it is an AC SPD in a DC circuit, the SPD does not support that amount of DC voltage, is desigbed for Voltages under 400 and is connected in a DC circuit where voltages reach more than 500. The specifications for the device are exeeded. DC SPD is usually more exepnsive than AC SPD, for this characteristic.

first not most people,knows the functions of surge protector, because it is call surge protector doesn't mean it protects differently,if connected wrongly,this is the result, just be thankful,that it doesn't burn the whole house,this is the functions of surge protector,it short circuit the breaker,when it is connected right,it turns off the breakers fast,before thunder gets to it.but when connected like this,it's won't off the breakers,it will hold the power coming from the panels,it's either it burn off,or the panels on the roof burns.

Over charging current or load causes such

I usually advise if u are using this much AC and DC Protective breakers and surge ensure you use two separate enclosure boxes for the AC and DC..

Now una don see why I said don’t use ac surge for solar installation

high voltage systems: without earth reference, sometimes early morning voltage spike can cause this... I have had this experience with a high voltage system of 630v

it has done its job, you need to replace it

but if I may ask I can't see a voltage protector in your combiner box

I think this installation was grounded with the wrong size of cable. we need to use similar size of cable to Live,(6.0mm/10.0mm) neutral and ground. then use correct size of SPD and ground it properly.

maghtygo :
This is not failure by lightening transient. It is uncoordinated installation failure mode. For it to burn like this means it passed high current. The breaker upstream is expected to trip in such a case. If it doesn't, it means the breaker was not chosen right. There is a lecture online by Schneider on getting this right.

may be the surg is 600v not 1000v

I I experienced this, I even used good copper but I guess it a partial contact, leading to heat

was the AC Surge 275v or 385v

Oversizing solar pv voltage !

joshuanwatu :
This is mostly caused by a poor earth connection to the SPD. The job of the SPD is to channel excess current to the earth during a surge so this will happen when the cable is undersized to carry the excess current or the building’s earthing is not effective.
