The new PV AC Combiner boxes have been designed for PV systems with string inverters in trackers or fix tilt systems.The product portfolio is suitable for inverters from 60 kW up to 200 kW and support voltages of 400 V, 690 V or 800 V AC. The combiner boxes allow to collect from 2 up to 6 string inverters in one single cabinet.
ETEK Solar's 600V DC combiner box is ideal for residential and small commercial solar installations. This compact yet robust solution combines multiple solar string inputs while providing essential protection features, most popular for homes. The EKDBS-PV1/1-IFS-600 is a high-quality 600V DC single-inp...
The combiner boxes allow to collect from 2 up to 6 string inverters in one single cabinet. They withstand ambient temperatures from -20 up to +50°C to operate in hardest climate conditions, fulfilling the highest market standards as per IEC 61439-2 ed 3.0:2020.
As developed based on customers’ needs, LS’s PV combiner boxes provide optimum connections and protections from the modules to the inverters. High reliability and safety. Optimized for solar power plants. The enclosure was made of metal (SS304) to increase durability. It is designed based on the latest IEC standards and has been certified as CB.
ABB also offers prewired solar combiner boxes with not only string protection, surge protection and disconnection but also with additional monitoring devices. The monitoring device CMS PV collects all main information such as string current, voltage and temperature in one device.
ETEK Solar's 1500V DC combiner box is a high-quality solution designed for utility-scale solar power plants. Equipped with a 1500V DC disconnector or molded case circuit breaker, PV fuses and Type 2 PV surge protector, it provides comprehensive overcurrent and overvoltage protection to ensure efficiency and reliability in high-power applications.
