Eaton Bussmann Series DC Combiner Boxes

For large scale ground mount utility PV systems, the challenges of providing the correct type and level of system protection becomes ever more critical as system voltages and operating currents are typically significantly higher. Spread out over large areas, with export powers typically in the magnitude of 10’s of MW these large-scale solar farms represent significant financial investments for the owners and operators. For this reason, it is critical to ensure safe and reliable operation of the DC, LV and MV circuits within these systems as well as meeting local and national codes for connection to the grid.

Today’s PV market is rapidly evolving, creating fresh challenges for system builders, operators, and owners. Eaton (Bussmann) recognises that, as PV systems have grown and complexity, the need to address specific protection requirements has increased in scope. By working closely with solar system manufacturers, integrator, EPCs and through coordinated research and development, Eaton (Bussmann) has developed a range of protection products dedicated to meet this need. The new combiner box range offers a completely customised solution that provides both circuit protection and system monitoring for your PV power distribution network, protecting personnel, assets, and your investment.

Fuses specifically designed for photovoltaic applications

Our gPV photovoltaic fuses have been designed by our world expert in fuses. Giving you peace of mind your installation is protected by the best possible and most suitable circuit protection solutions for your solar network

Designed with your system in mind

Eaton (Bussmann) understands that no two PV installations are alike and that the harsh environmental conditions typically experienced can place tough demands on the components used. The result is a fully customizable combiner box, engineered to meet the most stringent safety standards and long term reliability of any PV installation. With superior characteristics, such as intelligent thermal spacing and cable layout, the need for forced ventilation in extreme ambient temperatures is eliminated. With a choice of materials, such as the IP65 / IP54 rated, UV stabilized vented enclosures you can be sure that there is an Eaton Bussmann series combiner box suited to any environment. Our dedicated PV Field Application Engineers work with you to configure and design the optimum combiner box solution specific to your PV project needs. Options include protection system selection and configuration as well as the inclusion of system monitoring of each active string, system voltage, system temperature, and critical component status. With world class manufacturing capabilities and an integrated common system approach, we can locally develop and manufacture your custom combiner boxes within a competitive timeframe while maintaining the exceptional levels of quality for which Eaton (Bussmann) is widely recognized.
