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 System
. 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.
