Photovoltaic Components

Photovoltaic components by Hensel, Katko, Citel and Schneider

Features

The Acti9 C60H-DC is a miniature circuit breaker that offers direct current circuit protection. It protects circuits against short-circuit currents and overload currents.

  • Compliant with IEC60947
  • Available in 1P or 2P
  • C tripping curve
  • Up to 500V DC

The Acti9 C60PV-DC is a miniature circuit breaker for photovoltaic (PV) installations. It protects the cables between each photovoltaic module’s string against short-circuit and overload currents.

  • Compliant with IEC/EN 60947-2
  • Available in 2P
  • B or C tripping curves
  • Up to 800V DC
  • Pre-wired
  • Non-polarized: wires can be inverted without risk
  • Lockable for improved operational safety
  • Delivered with three interpole barriers, for improved isolation between connectors.

Benefits

Acti9 C60H-DC:

  • Enhanced operational safety thanks to the green strip toggle indicator which increases the safety of downstream current flow when a breaker is in the open position
  • Improved service life thanks to fast closing of breaker, independent of operator
  • Short-circuit current limitation thanks to the fast opening of contacts, reduces the risk of damage to circuit loads.

Acti9 C60PV-DC:

  • Enhanced operational safety thanks to the green strip toggle indicator which increases the safety of downstream current flow when the breaker is in the open position
  • Improved service life thanks to fast closing of breaker, independent of operator
  • Short-circuit current limitation thanks to the fast opening of contacts, reduces the risk of damage to circuit loads
  • Easier installation as wires can be inverted without risk (non-polarized).

Applications

 Acti9 C60H-DC:
Direct current circuits such as industrial control, automation, transportation, and renewable energy.

Acti9 C60PV-DC:
Designed for direct current photovoltaic installations.

Type 1 Surge Protectors


Type 1 surge protectors are designed to be installed where a direct lightning strike risk is high, especially when the building is equipped with an external lightning protection system (LPS or lightning rod). In this situation, EN 61643-11 and IEC 61643-11 standards require the Class I test to be applied to surge protectors: this test is characterized by the injection of 10/350 µs impulse current to simulate the direct lightning strike consequence. Therefore these Type 1 surge protectors must be especially powerful to conduct this high-energy impulse current.

Type 2 Surge Protectors

Type 2 surge protectors are designed to be installed at the entrance of the installation, in the main switchboard, or close to sensitive terminals, on installations without LPS (lightning rods). These protectors are tested following the Class II test from IEC61643-11 or EN61643-11 standards and based on 8/20 µs impulse current injection.
