Projoy Classroom(Lesson 1) Photovoltaic DC isolator

Date: 2022-01-07

Since its development, Projoy has five product lines in the fields of photovoltaics, energy storage, safety, intelligence, and systems.

In order for everyone to have a deeper understanding of Projoy's products, the editor will give a detailed introduction to these five product lines in stages.

DC Isolator, as the name implies, is a switch that isolates DC. It is mostly used in photovoltaic power station systems to cut off the arc generated by direct current to avoid dangerous accidents and ensure safe operation.


What are the protection functions of DC switches in photovoltaic power plants?

●When installing a photovoltaic system, the installer generally isolates the input of the battery panel and the inverter by turning off the DC switch first, and the DC power is not connected to the DC side of the inverter during such wiring and plugging and unplugging of the DC terminal. , To prevent personal electric shock and damage to the inverter and back-end equipment. Therefore, when the system is installed, we need a "DC switch" to isolate the DC power between the inverter and the battery panel.

●In a photovoltaic power station, the inverter is the "core center", and in order to ensure sufficient power generation time, the inverter does not have a start-stop button. As long as there is light (even in rainy weather), the battery panel can generate electricity and inverter The device will work automatically. However, this also brings a problem. When replacing or repairing the inverter, even if the AC side has been disconnected by the installed AC circuit breaker, but the DC side is always powered. In this case, if the inverter does not have a "DC switch" to isolate the DC power from the battery panel, it is easy to cause electric shock and damage to the equipment.

●At present, most inverters on the market are of the TL series, that is, there is no internal electrical isolation, and there is the possibility of backflow from the AC side to the DC side. During maintenance, if the AC switch and the DC switch are physically isolated, each Segments can be more securely protected.
