Application Scope:The PV AC combiner box is primarily used on the AC side of photovoltaic power generation systems. It consolidates, protects, monitors, and distributes the AC output from multiple PV inverters, ensuring safe and efficient power transmission to the grid or load. It is suitable for commercial & industrial (C&I) distributed PV plants, ground-mounted PV power stations, and residential PV systems.
Selection Criteria
Rated Voltage: Must match grid voltage (e.g., 400V, 690V).
Rated Current: Selected based on the total inverter output current with a 20%-30% margin.
Ingress Protection (IP) Rating: IP65 or higher for outdoor use; IP20-IP54 for indoor applications.
Protection Functions: Essential protections include overcurrent, short-circuit, surge, and residual current protection.
Communication Capability: Supports RS485/Modbus or wireless communication for remote monitoring.
Material: Corrosion-resistant and weatherproof enclosure (e.g., galvanized steel or stainless steel).
