Switchtec’s high voltage, high current DC switch


Telergon’s S6000N DC switch disconnector from distributor Switchtec has been introduced to meet the demand for this type of product as a result of the increased usage of 1500VDC generation in photovoltaic (PV) utility scale systems.


Using


1500VDC rather than lower voltages enables the PV Installer to save costs as higher-voltage systems enable longer strings, which means fewer combiner boxes, less wiring and trenching, and therefore less labour too. Aimed at photovoltaic installers and panel builders in PV systems and control panels, and designed to switch up to 1500VDC, the Telergon S6000N DC switch disconnector is available with different terminal configurations to suit the installation’s specific requirements and needs. The switch can be supplied with its input and output terminals at the top of the switch, at the bottom, or one at the top and one at the bottom – all options are covered.The whole range is manufactured according to IEC 60947-3 and fully RoHS compliant, it is recognised by world wide and important approval bodies such as Kema Keur, CE, Bureau Veritas, and Lloyds Register.

PushIn terminal series with


C


improved design ONTA-CLIP presents


series PRK. the new PushIn terminal The comprehensive range provides


users with a number of design improvements on conventional PushIn terminals and satisfies even very demanding requirements regarding ease of use and mechanical stability. The PushIn connection ensures a safe, tool-free insertion of rigid wires or wires with end sleeves and significantly reduces the time spent on wiring. For a quick release of inserted wires,


the


terminals are equipped with a pusher that requires only slight pressure and no special tools, although the PushIn-springs provide high contact force for the wire connections. Improving on conventional PushIn terminals, accidental incorrect insertions of wires are made impossible due to the physical separation of the insertion channel and pusher. The completely new internal layout with large contact surfaces and fixed metal parts ensures a high current-carrying capacity with low heat build-up, mechanical toughness and an absolutely secure hold of the compact terminals.
