Ferraz Shawmut To Display Innovative Solar Power Circuit Protection Products At Solar Power International 2009, Booth 2832
Ferraz Shawmut, a global leader in the field of electrical protection, will unveil innovative circuit protection products for the commercial solar power industry at the Solar Power International 2009 conference, booth 2832, from Oct. 27-29 at the Anaheim Convention Center.
The conversion of solar energy to electricity is a reliable process, as long as it's properly protected. Any installation, whether a stand-alone solar array with a back-up generator set or a grid-connected system, is vulnerable to fault currents or lightning. Fuses and surge protective devices offer the most effective means of protecting the wiring and electrical equipment in a Photovoltaic (PV) system. Fuses protect the cables between strings of modules from overcurrent damage. The faulty circuits are isolated, allowing the system to continue generating power. But that protection must be designed, dimensioned, tested and adapted to the specific features of solar applications.
Conference attendees may preview Ferraz Shawmut's dedicated range of protection components specially designed for solar power generation and distribution at Solar Power International, booth 2832. On display will be 600VDC and 1000VDC fuse solutions, UltraSafe "finger-safe" fuse holders as well as open style fuse holders, PV rated disconnect switches, finger-safe power distribution blocks (FSPDB), Surge-Trap surge protective devices, and a host of other electrical protection solutions for the combiner box, inverter, main electrical panel, and utility.
