DC - distribution and protection components
Introduction
Photovoltaic systems are composed by photovoltaic panels, ca-
bles, fuses, switches, overvoltage arresters and power inverter.
Photovoltaic panels utilise the power of sun light to converters
photons to DC current.
Electricity generated by solar panels is then fed into a power in-
verter that converts DC current to AC current. gPV fuse has been
developed to protect cable and panel against "reverse" over-
current.
ETITEC B, C-PV series of over voltage surge protective devices has
been developed to protect against direct and indirect lightning
discharges and is intended to protect photovoltaic systems.
The circuit topology consists of two varistors stages each protect-
ed by a thermal disconnection device.
Overcurrent protection
PV module protection from »DC REVERSE« current on DC side
Array with three or more strings of panels:
PV systems that have three or more strings connected in parallel
need to have each string protected by fuses.
Systems that have less than three strings will not generate
enought fault current to damage the conductors/solar panels.
Green protect - DC
Normaly there are two gPV fuses connected on each string (+
and - pole), that protect conductors/solar panels from damage
and eliminate any safety hazards.
Fuses isolate the faulted string. The rest of PV system can continue
to generate electricity.
PV module protection from »AC REVERSE« current caused by
defective inverter
If an inverter becomes defective (transformerless…), AC reverse
current can feed into DC strings and destroy PV modules.

CH 10 gPV fuse selection
ETI as one of the most important European producer of overcurrent protection equipment and
devices participating in many working groups for standards developement at International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). ETI is member of maintenance team MT9 belonging to the
32B group, working on the part 6 of the IEC 60269 dealing with supplementary requirements
for fuse-links for the overcurrent protection of solar photovoltaic energy systems.
gPV fuse link must be selected acc. standard IEC 62548

PV switch disconnector
The construction of the switch ensures reliable switching up to 58A with 1000V in the category DC 21B.
The construction of the contacts and the material selection guarantee that no oxidation (small switching frequency
developes, and is thus prevented inadmissible heating-up.
The switch disconnector has 2, 4 or 4+2 contacts, by serial / paralel wirring of the contacts the contact rating will be
increased.
The switching speed at the manually operated handle does not have an effect on the switching attitude of the con-
tacts.

Which are vulnerable to smooth d.c. residual currents:
Frequency converters,
Photovoltaic systems, a.c side,
Charging stations for electric vehicles,
