Arc Fault Detectors protect solar photovoltaic arrays.
2013-07-17 14:31:24| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Designed to prevent dangerous thermal events on PV arrays, UL 1699B recognized PVAF Series detects arcs while minimizing nuisance trips by identifying electrical noise signature created by arc faults in array wiring. Each device monitors up to 4 PV strings by itself, and multiple PVAFs can run in parallel to monitor more strings or whole combiner box. Available in configurations powered with 12 or 24 Vdc, PVAF Series monitors strings up to 15 A at 1,000 V or combined lines up to 40 A at 1,000 V.

Hill: Protecting sand dunes and coral reefs can help defend the United Statess coasts against costly extreme-weather events linked to climate change, according to a new study. Maintaining coastal habitats could halve the people, low-income families, the elderly and total value of residential property most exposed to rising sea levels, floods and storms associated with climate change, the study concluded. Extreme weather, sea-level rise and degraded coastal ecosystems are placing people and property...
