Customer ServiceAs for the fuse voltage rating, it must be equal to or higher than the highest DC voltage of the system in the DC part of the solar system or equal to or higher than the standard AC voltage of the AC segment of the system. Before starting the design, let’s recall the parameters of a solar panel essential for protection. They are:
Solar PV panels generate DC power. Given this, the current and voltage are constant for a given level of irradiance on the PV panels. However, with high voltage DC current, it is difficult for typical circuit protection devices to interrupt the circuit reliably under the range of operating conditions likely to occur in a solar energy system.
The short circuit current that can be delivered from a photovoltaic panel is only 110% to 115% of the operating current. This is quite different than the conventional AC system supplied by utility or on-site generators. However, parts of photovoltaic systems may have to withstand higher short-circuit currents.
