A line fully dedicated to PV applications

These compact-size Helio Switch switch-disconnectors are used in isolating a group of solar panels strings or as the main switch for a complete solar power system. The range lies from 160 to 400 Amps with a 1000VDC voltage rating for the four higher ratings.

Thanks to the built-in-factory poles in series, these Helio Switch are totally ready to use.
The solutions for electrical protection by Ferraz Shawmut are recognized as fully safe. Helio Switch are part of them with the padlockable handle and the covers to isolate up- and downstream connections.

Ferraz Shawmut is committed to protecting photovoltaic installations

Photovoltaics as power source is very booming. By 2020 installed capacity in solar power is expected to be near 300 GW. Generating electricity from this available energy source is an extremely reliable process – as long as it’s properly protected !

Any installation, whether it’s a stand-alone solar array with a back-up generator set or a grid-connected one, is vulnerable to fault currents or lightning. Today fuses and surge arresters are the most effective ways of protecting the wiring and all the electrical equipment in a PV system. But that protection must be designed, dimensioned, tested and adapted to the specific features of solar applications. At Ferraz Shawmut, the specialist in protection specially designed for power generation and distribution, we are showing our commitment to the development of solar power with a dedicated range of products: junction boxes, fuses and surge arresters. Fuses shield the cables between strings of modules from damage. The faulty circuits are isolated and the system can keep on generating power.
