6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic insulation detection board]
Which insulation monitoring devices are available?
Insulation monitoring devices of the VARIMETER IMD family are available for direct voltage (DC), alternating voltage (AC) and mixed networks (AC/DC), e.g. networks with voltage or frequency changes, high system leakage capacitances or DC voltage components. You want to monitor grounded power supplies (TN and TT systems)?
How do I choose a good insulation fault detection system?
Proper insulation fault detection around low insulation alarm thresholds (ie no false alarms), for example as low as 100 Ohms. Once selected, IMDs also need to be configured for use in PV applications, considering the high leakage capacitance these systems can present.
How does an insulation monitoring device work?
The insulation monitoring device monitors this insulation resistance and initiates a shutdown in case the insulation resistance is not sufficient. Designers must consider the isolation requirements that apply to achieving basic or reinforced isolation (these can be determined based on line and peak voltages).
Why is insulating a large PV array important?
Maintaining insulation integrity on the direct current (DC) side of a large PV array is extremely important to fire prevention. The DC side includes the panels, junction boxes, conductors and other equipment leading up to the system’s inverter.
What are the different methods of insulation monitoring?
Various techniques coexist in the insulation monitoring market. The two most popular methods are AC current injection and an electric bridge switch. The AC current injection method is based on generating a square wave signal that is injected into the RC circuit between the HV lines and Protective Earth (PE) through an RC filter or transformer.
Are photovoltaic systems sustainable?
Engineered to last, photovoltaic systems are designed to be sustainable yet efficient. Regular inspections of photovoltaic systems and solar panels ensure they perform effectively, create the most clean energy possible, and prevent unnecessary and costly problems in the future.
