The cost efficient fire fighter breaker systemFireman switch
For Ferroamp’s EnergyHub system 7 – 200 kW
The EnergyHub system with its Solar String Optimizers brings a new cost effective way to completely disconnect all PV strings in case of a fire hazard. The system utilizes the existing safety relays in the Ferroamp Solar String Optimizers to disconnect as close to the PV strings as possible. No additional expensive DC-breakers are required.
The system comprises a single remotely operated fireman switch that interrupts DC bus voltage and also interrupts keep-alive messages from the EnergyHub sent to the Solar String Optimizers that will force their internal safety relays to trip within 10 seconds.
