Residential 5 to 36kW Mersen is a trusted partner of electrical equipment distributors and played a leadership role in solar power circuit protection long before the boom reached the residential market, i.e. for private homes, small apartment buildings and farm buildings. Commercial and Industrial 36 to 250kW The walls and roofs of buildings - office towers, factories, malls and warehouses - are among the preferred supports for solar power systems. Architects and developers have grasped the importance of this energy revolution, and more of them are recommending “green” solutions. Utility and...

Photovoltaic equipement and systems are governed by international general standards. IEC and UL standards provide the rules to apply to implement state-of-the-art PV installations. Besides that international or more local standards relay and complete the general standards. They concern more precise fields such as: complete systems and installations, components incorporated in the systems and connection to the grid. Standards, Guidelines, Recommendations General Standards IEC 62548 Edition 1 Installation and safety requirements for photovoltaic (PV) generators PV Installations PV Systems IEC 60364-7-712...

1 - ecessary data required for calculations N of photovoltaic protection: M = number of modules in series in a string (a chain) N = number of strings (chains) in parallel Nota: the table 104 of the IEC 60269-6 requires breaking tests carried out at a mean value of recovery voltage fixed at 100 (0->+5) % of the fuse rated voltage. These conditions are the same as those of UL standards UL 248-19. So, the coefficient 1.2 is applicable with both IEC and UL fuses. 5 - ated current required for gPV fuses: R IRM = maximum reverse current of a module Nota: the module is tested according to the standard...
