Firefighter Safety Switch

At the core of the system, the Craig & Derricott PVFS Firefighter Safety Switch provides automatic isolation for up to 10 photovoltaic (PV) solar panel strings, ensuring enhanced safety and rapid disconnection in emergencies. Designed specifically for DC photovoltaic installations, the PVFS monitors the building’s AC power supply and, upon power loss, automatically isolates connected PV strings as close to the panels as possible. This minimises live DC cabling, reducing hazards and improving safety for emergency responders by preventing electrical risks during critical events.

Built for durability, each unit is housed in an IP65- rated weather-resistant enclosure, making it suitable for outdoor and harsh environments. The system is designed to automatically restore PV connectivity when AC power is reinstated, ensuring minimal downtime and maintaining operational efficiency. By instantly disconnecting PV strings during power loss and reactivating them once supply is restored, the PVFS provides a reliable and robust safety solution for solar installations, offering essential protection for firefighters.
