Photovoltaic (PV) Isolators & Surge Protection
The amount of power generated is a major discussion point because installed PV capacity is increasing. Power investors are, however, growing more concerned about safety and security issues, which commonly affected photovoltaic power plants in recent years. One of the most crucial components for the safety of a PV system is the DC PV Isolator, whose dependability and stability are related to the steady production and financial success of photovoltaic systems as well as their safe and reliable operation. Therefore, choosing reliable DC PV Isolator Switches will be essential. According to BS 7671, a PV installation's DC side must have a method of isolation, and this can be accomplished with an isolator-disconnector that is categorized as EN 60947-3.
Disconnect switches in energy storage systems are of vital importance. Battery racks, combiners, and Power Conversion Systems are the three tiers of an Energy Storage System (ESS) where disconnect switches can be utilized. The size of the ESS and whether the topology is in front or behind the meter determine the best switch to employ. Utility scale ESS (>1 MW) have a topology called "front of the meter." Residential (100 kW) and commercial and industrial (0.1–1 MW) ESS feature "behind the meter" topologies. IPD offers a wide range of products from PV array DC isolators, distribution blocks, fittings, PV lightning protection relays, and PV surge protectors from globally recognized brands that adhere to widely recognized standards like ABB, ComAp, DEHN and Hensel.
