IP66 Metal Enclosure 1200V Solar DC Isolator Switch
Product Description
Product Introduction
The FMPV32-ELR2 Metal Type DC Isolator switches have been specifically designed to switch Direct Current (DC) at voltages up to 1000Volts. Their robust design and ability to switch such voltages, at rated current, mean that they are ideally suited to be used in the switching of Photovoltaic (PV) systems.
The DC switch achieves ultra-rapid switching through a patented ‘Snap Action’ spring driven operating mechanism. When the front actuator is rotated, energy is accumulated in the patented mechanism until a point is reached at which the contacts are fired open or closed. This system will operate the switch under load within 5ms thereby reducing the arcing time to a minimum.
In order to reduce the chances of an arc propagating, the FMPV-ELR2 DC switch employs rotary contact technology. This is designed to make and break the circuit through a revolving double break contact assembly that wipes as it moves. The wiping action has the added advantage of keeping the contact faces clean thereby reducing the circuit resistance and increasing the life of the switch.
The FMPV32-ELR2 boxed DC isolators are manufactured from flame retardant polycarbonate plastic resulting in an extremely strong, reliable, safe switch. They are also supplied in an enclosure which gives plenty of space for cabling.
