Overview of Photovoltaic Load Break Switches
The range of photovoltaic load break switches is designed to enable simultaneous on-load disconnection of two circuits using a single handle. This feature offers several advantages, including space-saving due to its compact design, simple connection and integration, increased voltage through series connection, and doubled rating by parallel connection.
Standards and Compliance
Photovoltaic installations must adhere to international standards such as IEC 60364-7-712 and IEC 62548, which provide guidelines for commissioning. In the USA, UL98B is the reference standard, which is more stringent than IEC 60947-3, requiring rigorous testing for temperature and electrical arcing resistance. The SIRCO PV switches comply with both IEC and UL standards.
Applications and Functions
The SIRCO M and MV load break switches are versatile, manually operated devices suitable for various applications, including main switchboards, distribution panels, emergency load breaks, and machine control. They offer total integration of isolation, breaking, and switching functions, with options for front, right side, or left side operation.
Product Features
The SIRCO M and MV switches are designed for easy transformation from load break switches to changeover switches, providing a modular solution for diverse applications. They come with a wide range of accessories, allowing for upgradeability and compliance with major certifications and approvals.
Technical Specifications
The switches feature double break per pole, multiple mounting options, and IP20 accessories. They are suitable for severe utilization categories (AC-22 and AC-23). Specific characteristics include positive break indication and contact point technology for SIRCO M, and visible double breaking for SIRCO MV.
Selection Guide
The catalogue provides a detailed selection guide for load break switches, including various operation handles, types of breaking, and switch body options. It also lists the available ratings, frame sizes, and configurations for different applications.
Accessories
A comprehensive range of accessories is available for the SIRCO M and MV switches, including direct operation handles, external operation handles, auxiliary contacts, and terminal shrouds. These accessories enhance the flexibility and functionality of the switches, allowing for customization to meet specific requirements.
