All about safety for solar energy Using free energy – safe for its consumers. The Sun provides 15,000 times more energy than consumed worldwide – reliably and free of charge. Modern photovoltaic installations harness this energy by using solar cells on the roof, which convert the sunlight efficiently and sustainably into electric power. The generation of renewable electricity offers great potential for the future, but means a special challenge, too.
Eaton’s solutions Actively shape the future with safe photovoltaic systems and Eaton. Photovoltaic power plants convert sunlight directly into electrical energy. For this purpose, photovoltaic modules are used. A differentiation is made between grid-independent systems and systems coupled to the power grid. Photovoltaic systems that are coupled to the power grid feed the generated power directly into the electrical grid. There is no need for sophisticated intermediate storage.
The energy of the sun, converted by Eaton PV inverter Grid-connected inverter range from 1500 W up to 4600 W Eaton offers a complete range of monophase inverters from 1500 W up to 4600 W, to serve the individual requirements of each PV-system. This range is suitable for mono- and polycrystalline PV-arrays up to 40m². The maintenance-free inverters are highly reliable and easy to install. The embedded LCD display makes them easy to operate and service.
The energy of the sun – the quality of Eaton. The total power of a photovoltaic system does not only depend on the area of installed PV-modules but also on the adjustment and slope of the modules. Also components such as the inverter greatly affect the efficiency. By using Eaton’s inverters, maximum power is ensured. 5 W7400-7622.indd 5 04.07.
Safe disconnection and protection of PV arrays DC disconnection DC switch disconnectors Compact disconnectors for inverters customized enclosures or inverters. They are installed on 35 mm top-hat rails; their terminals facilitate the connection of all conventional conductor types. Eaton offers both enclosed and open switch-disconnectors. P-SOL open switchdisconnectors are intended for 6 W7400-7622.
Hazard-free fire-fighting U< PV fireman’s switch A house is on fire. A fire-fighting appliance approaches. The fire fighters climb out, see a solar installation – and can do very little. The fire services can frequently do little else than rescue persons and animals and prevent neighbouring buildings from catching fire. The reason being that PV installations generate voltages up to 1000 V, which are still generated even after the power inverter is switched off.
DC string protection String protection makes sense if the PV system has 3 or more strings and can be made with a DC fuse disconnector or a DC string circuit breaker. In addition to fuses, protection of photovoltaic strings is provided by string circuit-breakers. String protection devices protect photovoltaic modules from fault currents. They prevent reverse currents from intact modules to modules with a short circuit.
Safety and comfort for the building AC switchgear for buildings Miniature circuit-breakers (MCBs) and residual current devices (RCDs)) Digital residual current circuit-breakers (RCCB) Residual current breakers with overcurrent (RCBO) Miniature circuit-breakers (MCB) Distribution boards Digital technology makes it possible to achieve a new level in tripping accuracy, which helps to avoid unwanted tripping.
Surge protective devices Threats to electrical systems due to lightning and overvoltages are made safe by Eaton’s surge protective devices. The comprehensive product range offers protection up to the user. Easily fitted auxiliary switches facilitate monitoring of the functionality of the surge protective device. You can find further information regarding Eaton switchgear for disconnecting, protecting and switching of photovoltaic systems for commercial and industrial applications at www.eaton.
Wireless monitoring of the PV system & energy management for the building Wireless visualization of the generated energy Energy sensor up to 16 A and Energy-Manager Comprehensive information from the xComfort Energy Sensor and Energy Manager: The Room Manager with integrated Energy-Manager Software enables the user to monitor the power generation of their photovoltaic system. By connecting the Eaton energy sensor to the inverter, the current feed to the grid can be read out.
The safety of Eaton Safe disconnection: In case of fi re or flooding, the current grid will be shut down by the regional electricity supplier or the fire brigade. Eaton provides you with extra safety: Remote controlled switch disconnectors ensure the disconnection of the voltage producing modules from the grid.
