PV isolators

Solar power is an environmentally friendly and sustainable method of producing electricity and is achieved using Photovoltaic (PV) cells that capture sunlight and convert it to electricity. By combining cells into an array, different voltages and current combinations can be achieved. Once installed an array will continue to generate voltage and current and it is therefore essential to isolate the array in the event of a fault or for maintenance purposes. To enable this Craig & Derricott have developed a range of DC switch-disconnectors to manage this specific application. This range of PV (DC) isolators are supplied in moulded plastic IP65 enclosures in a light grey (RAL 7035) finish.
