Arc faults not only reduce the efficiency and reliability of the PV power generation system, but also may cause safety risks such as fire, which poses a threat to the safe and reliable operation of the PV system. Therefore, timely and accurate diagnosis of PV inverter arc faults is crucial.
DC arc faults do not occur on solar systems that use microinverters and some systems that use DC optimisers that reduce the DC voltage to safe levels in the event of a fault. Microinverters and DC optimised systems were developed more than 10 years ago to prevent solar fires caused by DC arc faults.
Inverters with built-in arc detection identity a DC arc fault using noise on the DC cabling produced by the arc. Once an arc is detected the DC circuit at the inverter will be isolated. This will extinguish a ‘series’ arc but WILL NOT extinguish a ‘parallel’ or ‘ground’ fault arc.
2.Solax’s solution In order to prevent the arcing of the DC side of the inverter from causing fires and other hazards, SolaX engineers have developed the integrated AFCI function, which detects the arcing of the DC side and cuts the circuit in time to protect the user and the electrical system.
Our standardized container products are engineered for reliability, safety, and easy deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
