6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic inverter circuit breaker protection technology]
Why is circuit breaker selection important in solar PV systems?
Background In solar PV systems, circuit breaker selection is something that is easily overlooked and time should be taken to select the correct solution. If the circuit breaker is not appropriate, it will cause frequent tripping of equipment, overheating damage and even system fire.
What are pvgardtm solar circuit breakers?
PVGardTM solar circuit breakers are part of a product family that combines a disconnect with overcurrent protection in one device to protect photovoltaic systems. PVGard breakers can also be used as a disconnect means in combiner box and inverter applications to save space.
How to choose a circuit breaker in a PV system?
For the selection of circuit breakers in PV systems, temperature is the most important consideration. According to the IEC 60947-2 standard, all circuit breakers have a datasheet detailing the derating/increasing current value of the ambient temperature.
Can a circuit breaker be connected to an inverter?
No additional loads must be connected between the circuit breaker and the inverter. Example for the thermal rating of a circuit breaker in a PV system in parallel grid operation. PV system with nine Sunny Mini Central 7000HV inverters and three inverters per line conductor.
Why do PV inverters tripping?
The ampacity is reduced due to the increase of the ambient temperature. In PV systems, inverters simultaneously feeding in their maximum current (simultaneity) are often also connected to neighboring circuit breakers. This causes the circuit breakers to heat up faster which may lead to premature tripping.
What are the current ratings assigned to PV circuit breakers?
The current ratings assigned to PV circuit breakers are defined by the performance requirements of UL 489B in order to protect PV modules during overcurrent situations. MCCBs and MCS’ are listed for a continuous load application. The assigned service rating should be reduced at increased ambient temperatures above 50°C.
