Technical FAQs 4

What is a PV AC combiner box?

The new PV AC combiner boxes have been designed for PV systems with string inverters in trackers or fix tilt systems. The product portfolio is suitable for inverters from 60 kW up to 200 kW and support voltages of 400 V, 690 V or 800 V AC. The combiner boxes allow to collect from 2 up to 6 string inverters in one single cabinet.

Do you need a combiner box for a solar inverter?

When optimally positioned within the solar PV system, the combiner box will help limit energy losses. Combiner boxes are required when there are more than three solar strings that need to be connected to the inverter. When working with less than three solar strings, they can be connected directly to the inverter without additional devices.

How many string inverters can a combiner box collect?

The combiner boxes allow to collect from 2 up to 6 string inverters in one single cabinet. They withstand ambient temperatures from −20 up to +50°C to operate in hardest climate conditions, fulfilling the highest market standards as per IEC 61439-2 ed 3.0:2020.

How many inverters are in a 400v/50kw AC combiner box?

Taking the AC combiner box with 4 in 1 (400V/50KW) as an example, there are a total of 4 inverters of 50KW: Label 1: The output end of the inverter is directly connected to the 4P circuit breaker. The circuit breaker can quickly cut off the fault current. The maximum AC output current of the inverter is 80A.
