Solar Power System Component # 5

Main DC Disconnect is the next component we can talk about.  The Main DC Disconnect is another very important component of the Solar Power SystemMain DC Disconnect.  This component is very simply a breaker.  In battery-based systems, a disconnect between the batteries and the inverter is required.  This disconnect is typically a large, DC-rated breaker mounted in a sheet-metal enclosed box.  This breaker allows the inverter to be quickly disconnected from the batteries for service, and protects the inverter – to – battery wiring against electrical fires.  And will (TRIP) turn off when any grounding or a dis-function accrues.

So we can now see how the installation of the Main DC Disconnect is important, what it’s purpose is, and why we need this component installed.
