★ OVERVIEW
The BWX-PV photovoltaic DC combiner box combines the DC input and output of up to 24
photovoltaic cell module strings into one or multiple outputs, each with a fuse, and the
output is equipped with a lightning arrester and circuit breaker, greatly simplifying
the input wiring of the DC distribution cabinet and inverter. Provide lightning
protection, short circuit protection, and grounding protection. The combiner box is
divided into two types: intelligent and non-intelligent. The intelligent lightning
protection combiner box is equipped with a current monitoring unit inside, which can
monitor the input current of each photovoltaic battery string, summarize the output
voltage, the temperature inside the box, the status of the lightning arrester, and the
status of the circuit breaker.
The internal layout of the device is simple and clear, and the wiring is neat and
reasonable. High reliability and easy maintenance. Outdoor wall-mounted installation,
able to adapt to various harsh environments. In addition to related core components,
others can be customized according to user requirements.
★ FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
The protection level of the combiner box reaches IP65, and it is waterproof, ash proof,
rust proof, and salt spray proof, meeting the requirements for outdoor installation:
- Can simultaneously connect up to 24 battery strings;
- The positive and negative poles of each battery string are equipped with
photovoltaic dedicated fuses to protect the module string from failure. The fuse
base and fuse are used together to reduce the owner's maintenance costs and
effectively protect the personal safety of maintenance personnel.
- The use of photovoltaic dedicated high-voltage lightning arrester can protect the
positive pole to ground and negative pole to ground of the busbar after convergence,
and the continuous working voltage (Uc) can reach 1000VDC;
- The power module inside the combiner box can be connected to a photovoltaic voltage
of up to 1000DCV;
- The measurement and control module of the combiner box adopts reliable Honeywell
Hall elements (DC CT sensors) to collect and monitor the current and bus voltage of
each photovoltaic string, alarm and locate local fault. It can also measure the
temperature inside the combiner box, detect the status of lightning protection
devices and output circuit breakers, etc.
- The monitoring module in the combiner box has a digital display function, which can
display the current, bus voltage, temperature inside the combiner box, status of the
circuit breaker, lightning arrester, system power, and equipment address of each
component string on the equipment.
- Equipped with RS485/MODBUS-RTU serial communication;
- Lightning protection is provided for external interfaces;
- Can receive parameter downloads from local monitoring devices for analysis and
processing;
- The working power supply of the combiner box can be selected from external 220VAC/DC
or from the power supply provided by the combiner box itself. If the power supply is
provided by the combiner box itself, there is no need for specific power supply and
separate wiring on site.
