Solar power is an environmentally friendly method of producing electricity and is achieved using Photovoltaic (PV) cells that capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. Once installed an array will continuously generate voltage and current in daylight and it is therefore essential to isolate the array in the event of a fault or for maintenance purposes.
Craig & Derricott offer a range of PV switch-disconnectors specifically designed to meet the unique requirements of Solar Panel technology.
The range offers DC and AC variants; the DC switch is installed between the PV array and the inverter with ratings from 7A-63A and operational voltages up to 1000Vd.c. The AC switch is installed on the outgoing side of the inverter; C&D offer AC isolators with 2, 3 and 6 Poles rated up to 100A. All switches are sealed to IP65 in moulded enclosures with multiple cable entry knock-outs.
