Consequently, the metallic structures of production materials and supporting structures shall be connected to the same earth connection. The structures being generally in aluminium, it is proper to take off...

MTR doc photovoltaique GB_Mise en page 1 13/09/11 10:22 Page8 connectors for equipotential bonding A secure equipotential bonding performs the equipotential bond by creating a high-quality electrical contact between the panel chassis and the earth conductor. The module frames are made from aluminium which is either anodized or surface treated in some other way. These surface coatings protect the frame against corrosion but are not conductive. Thanks to the range, electrical contact with the aluminium of the panel is provided either by: - drilling/tapping, for models with screws secured by...

MTR doc photovoltaique GB_Mise en page 1 13/09/11 10:22 Page9 with self-drilling screw example: can be fixed quickly by drilling and tapping the chassis, using a screwdriver equipped with a PZ2 cross-threaded bit. Thanks to its specific design, this operation is performed without removing the screw that tightens the cable. The earth conductor is fixed using the tightening screw with a recess for a flat screwdriver. After stripping a length of 30 mm, the earth conductor is installed. Tightening with EVBSFP specific bit This installation method allows a panel to be removed without breaking...
