Safe disconnection of solar panels – with DC switch disconnectors

The VDE 0100-712 (June 2006) standard stipulates the use of a switch-disconnector between the photovoltaic module and the inverter. Moeller provides enclosed and open switch-disconnectors for voltages up to 1000 V DC.

They can be used to establish separate switching points as demanded by the VDI standard VDI 6012, so that for example, a defective inverter can be safely disconnected. All switch-disconnectors switch on two poles and are thus suitable for unearthed systems.

Compact disconnectors for inverters

Moeller offers both enclosed and open switch-disconnectors.

Open switch-disconnectors P-SOL are intended for customized enclosures or inverters. They are attached on 35 mm top-hat rails; their terminations facilitate connection of all conventional conductor types. Separate rotary handles and shaft extensions enable flexible installation. An auxiliary contact block for indication of the switch state can be attached. A shunt release module is available for remote tripping.
In addition, these switches are of course certified by the TÜV.

Perfectly enclosed for outdoor installation

Switch-disconnectors SOL in enclosures are ready to install.

Connection variants for 2 and 4, or 4 and 8 strings as well as for the most commonly available connector types such as MC3, MC4 or metric cable glands, ensure problem-free integration in different system concepts.

The enclosure is implemented to degree of protection IP65 and thus facilitates outdoor installation. Locking capabilities offer protection during service. A pressure equalization element prevents collection of condensation and thus malfunctions due to flash-overs.
In addition, these switches are of course certified by the TÜV.
