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.
