    Â What you need to know

    A solar electrical installation is an application that requires switching devices fully meet the needs of operational reliability and operational safety intervention for this type of installation.

    According to IEC 60364 (Part 7-7-12), the characteristics must withstand overcurrents up to 1.25 times the rated short-circuit current (Isc, Stc) modules.

    To date, due to the absence of standard "switchgear for PV installation", the manufacturer can only refer to IEC 60-947 and expressed his job categories depending on the type of loads and overloads of normal.

    The load duty category DC21 defined withstand the device up to 1.5 times rated current of the installation with a time constant L/R 1ms, which is well above the requirements of IEC 60364-7-712 and the PV need on the basis of these criteria.

    Against, the manufacturer has the responsibility to propose, according his expertise, devices whose performance respond to the specific needs identified and not necessarily standardized, because of the recent emergence of these applications.

    Direct operation External side operation for multipolar configuration

    External operation

    • In a combiner box, located close to the solar cell strings, or located close to the inverter, we recommand the use of a door interlocked external handle for its safety features. The locking function of the enclosure in the "ON" position will force the operator to safely disconnect and isolate the solar cell strings prior to any intervention.

    Â Think about it

    • Other solutionsYou can combine overcurrent protection with protectionagainst transient overvoltages due to lightning (see page 64).

    • Need an enclosed switch ?No problem with the specific products. SOCOMEC also manufactures solutions for all your requirements.For further information, please contact us.

    UseThe door interlocked external operation handle includes a padlockable handle, an escutcheon and must be utilised with an extensions shaft.In a combiner box, located close to the solar cell strings, or located close to the inverter, we recommand the use of a door interlocked external handle for its safety features.

    ExampleThe locking function of the enclosure in the "ON" position will force the operator to safely disconnect and isolate the solar cell strings prior to any intervention.Opening the door when the switch is on "ON" position is possible by defeating the locking function with the use of a tool (authorized persons only).The locking function is restored when the door is closed back.

    Photovoltaic Switch 750 V d.c. and 1000 V d.c.from 100 to 800 A

    Â Function

    SIRCO PV are manually operated multipolar load break switches.They break on and off load and provide safety isolation for any low voltage circuit of photovoltaic applications.

    Â Conformity to standards

    • IEC 60947-3• EN 60947-3• VDE 0660-107 (1992)• IEC 60364-4-410 (They provide

    safety disconnection and protection against overcurrents)

    • IEC 60364-7-712 (Buildings electrical installations - Part 7-712: rules for special locations - Solar photovoltaic power supplies (PV)

    Â General characteristics

    • Patented switching technology.• Fully visualised breaking.• DIN rail or panel mounting.• Up to 1000 V d.c.

    Â Available on request

    • Other rating: consult us.

    • Enclosed devices : consult us.

    Â What you need to know

    A solar electrical installation is an application that requires switching devices fully meet the needs of operational reliability and operational safety intervention for this type of installation.

    According to IEC 60364 (Part 7-7-12), the characteristics must withstand overcurrents up to 1.25 times the rated short-circuit current (Isc, Stc) modules.

    To date, due to the absence of standard switchgear for PV installation, the manufacturer can only refer to IEC 60-947 and expressed his job categories depending on the type of loads and overloads of normal.

    The load duty category DC21 defined withstand the device up to 1.5 times rated current of the installation with a time constant L/R 1ms, which is well above the requirements of IEC 60364-7-712 and the PV need on the basis of these criteria.

    Against, the manufacturer has the responsibility to propose, according his expertise, devices whose performance respond to the specific needs identified and not necessarily standardized, because of the recent emergence of these applications.

    SIRCO MOT PV Load break switches for solar applications

    Motorised switch for solar applications from 200 to 630 A

    Â Functions

    SIRCO MOT PV are motorised multipolar load break switches.They break on and off load and provide safety isolation for any low voltage circuit of photovoltaic applications.

    Â Conformity to standards

    • IEC 60947-3

    Â General characteristics

    • 2 stable positions(I, 0).• Fully visible breaking.• AUTO / MANU selector.• Padlocking in 0 position (I in option).• Up to 1000 V d.c.• IP20 devices and accessories.• SIRCO MOT PV devices are 3 or 4 poles

    from 200 to 630 A.• SIRCO MOT PV devices have a manual

    emergency operation.

    Â What you need to know

    A solar electrical installation is an application that requires switching devices fully meet the needs of operational reliability and operational safety intervention for this type of installation.

    According to IEC 60364 (Part 7-7-12), the characteristics must withstand overcurrents up to 1.25 times the rated short-circuit current (Isc, Stc) modules.

    To date, due to the absence of standard switchgear for PV installation, the manufacturer can only refer to IEC 60-947 and expressed his job categories depending on the type of loads and overloads of normal.

    The load duty category DC21 defined withstand the device up to 1.5 times rated current of the installation with a time constant L/R 1ms, which is well above the requirements of IEC 60364-7-712 and the PV need on the basis of these criteria.

    Against, the manufacturer has the responsibility to propose, according his expertise, devices whose performance respond to the specific needs identified and not necessarily standardized, because of the recent emergence of these applications.

    External handle

    UseThe interlocking function of the front external handle prevents the user from opening the door of the enclosure when the switch is in the "ON" position (if the handke is door mounted only).Opening the door when the switch is on "ON" position is possible by defeating the locking function with the use of a tool (authorized persons only).The interlocking function is restored when the door is re-closed.

    Â What you need to know

    Used characteristics• ISC: short circuit current of the PV string • ISC M AX: short circuit current of the PV string related to

    maximum sunlight density • IRM: maximum admitted reverse current• In: fuse rating or fuse rated current (at 25°C in a RM

    disconnect switch)• Nc: number of PV strings in parallel connection• Ue: maximum fuse rated voltage• UOC MAX: maximum open circuit voltage in the lowest

    temperature conditions

    When to protectA PV string requires an over current protection when its own maximum admissible reverse current characteristic (IRM) is less than the current generated by the rest of the installation (current generated by the "Nc-1" other strings).The protection is obligatory if Nc ≤ 1+ (IRM / ISC)

    How to protectThe overload protection is to be applied at each of the two polarities, regardless of whether the d.c. installation is earthed or not.

    Â How to choose the fuse protection

    VoltageUe > UOC MAXIn the absence of complementary information use UOC MAX=1.2 UOC.

    Fuse rating determinationDetermination of the fuse rated current consists of choosing a protection capable of: • supporting without fusing the normal overload current during the periods of maximum sunlight

    density at the ambient temperature of the enclosure in which the fuse is installed In > ISC MAXIn the absence of complementary information use ISC MAX = 1.4 ISC

    • melting and reliably clearing the fault before the PV modules are damaged by the reverse current.In < IRM

    SIRCOVER PV Changeover switches for photovoltaics applications

    Manually operated changeover switch for PV applications from 200 to 630 A

    Â Functions

    SIRCOVER PV products are manually operated multipolar changeover switches.They ensure source inversion or changeover under load of two photovoltaic installation circuits.

    Â Conformity to standards

    • IEC 60947-3

    Â General characteristics

    • 3 stable positions (I, 0, II) and ease to switch from one to the other under load.

    • Fully visible breaking.• Up to 1000 V d.c.• IP20 devices and accessories.• On models with 3 stable positions (I-0-II),

    SIRCOVER PV devices are 3 or 4 poles from 200 to 630 A. They can be mounted under steel or polyester enclosure.

    • SIRCOVER PV are available with direct front or external operation.

    Â What you need to know

    A solar electrical installation is an application that requires switching devices fully meet the needs of operational reliability and operational safety intervention for this type of installation.

    According to IEC 60364 (Part 7-7-12), the characteristics must withstand overcurrents up to 1.25 times the rated short-circuit current (Isc, Stc) modules.

    To date, due to the absence of standard switchgear for PV installation, the manufacturer can only refer to IEC 60-947 and expressed his job categories depending on the type of loads and overloads of normal.

    The load duty category DC21 defined withstand the device up to 1.5 times rated current of the installation with a time constant L/R 1ms, which is well above the requirements of IEC 60364-7-712 and the PV need on the basis of these criteria.

    Against, the manufacturer has the responsibility to propose, according his expertise, devices whose performance respond to the specific needs identified and not necessarily standardized, because of the recent emergence of these applications.
