Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic power generation equipment, and specifically relates to a photovoltaic converging device. Background Art

[0002] Existing photovoltaic power generation equipment mainly includes solar cell arrays, photovoltaic DC combiner boxes, inverter boxes, and photovoltaic AC combiner boxes; the photovoltaic DC combiner box collects the multiple DC currents emitted by the solar cell array to the input end of the inverter. In order to reduce the impact on the power grid and avoid damage to the inverter due to excessive voltage, it is usually designed in a multi-way parallel manner. According to the DC voltage range of the inverter input, a certain number of photovoltaic modules of the same specifications are connected in series to form a battery string, and then several battery strings are connected to the lightning protection circuit, and the output is output after the lightning arrester and the circuit breaker, which is convenient for the access of the subsequent inverter. The maximum input voltage of the battery string can reach DC1000V.

[0003] The main function of the photovoltaic AC combiner box is to combine the output current of multiple inverters and protect the inverter from harm from the AC grid-connected side or load. It serves as the disconnect point of the inverter output, which helps to improve the safety of the system and protect the safety of installation and maintenance personnel.

[0004] In addition, the PV AC combiner box is usually installed near the inverter to facilitate the control of the inverter's AC switch and subsequent operation and maintenance. Its inlet and outlet lines use circuit breakers, and the system rated voltage can reach up to AC690V.

When a fire occurs in one of the inverters due to a circuit fault, it may affect other inverters and cause damage to other inverters.
