Technical instructions for installing photovoltaic combiner boxes

How do I install a combiner box?

Wall-mounted or column-mounted installations are recommended, ensuring the wall or column can support the combiner box’s weight. Install the combiner box’s support braces on the same horizontal plane to prevent long-term deformation. Use M17/304 stainless steel screws for secure wall-piece installation.

How do I install a PV AC combiner box?

Insert the fuses provided with the PV AC combiner box into the fuse holders using the appropiate tool from Weidmüller (or equivalent appropriated for this activity). ►Switch on the main switch disconnector (from OFF to ON position). ►Close and secure the door with the key-tool lock.

How do you connect a solar inverter to a combiner box?

Open the combiner box cover. Install conduits, as required by local regulations. Maximum supported conduit diameter - 32 mm. Connect the DC cables from the combiner box to the inverter. Connect DC cables from PV strings and batteries (if installed) to the terminal blocks, as shown below. symbol.

How do you disconnect a PV combiner box?

Ensure the circuit breaker is in the “OFF” or “TRIP” position (or the load isolation switch is in the “OFF” position) to disconnect the combiner box from the PV DC output side. All fuse holders inside the combiner box should be open (or remove the fuse core using specialized pliers) to disconnect the DC combiner box from the PV string input side.

How do I choose a solar combiner box?

Voltage and Current Ratings: Your combiner box must be rated to handle the maximum voltage and current your solar array can produce. This is critical for safety and performance. Environmental Conditions: Since combiner boxes are typically installed outdoors, choose one that can withstand your local weather conditions.

Which energy meter is used in a PV AC combiner box?

In case the PV AC combiner box is equipped with an ener-gy meter, this device is a D650. This device simplifies the connection work inside the combiner box and reduces maintenance tasks due to the PUSH IN terminals. The Transclinic 16i+ can operate at full load (25 Amps) at maximum temperature range (+70 oC).
