5 **Protecting PV Systems** ## **PV System standards** Unlike typical grid connected AC systems, the available short-circuit current within PV systems is limited, and the overcurrent protective devices (OCPDs) need to operate effectively on low levels of fault current. For this reason, Eaton has conducted extensive research and development of PV fuses and circuit breakers that are specifically designed and tested to protect PV systems with high DC voltages and low fault currents. The International Electrotechnical Commissions (IEC) and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) recognize that the protection of PV systems is different than conventional electrical installations. This is reflected in IEC 60269-6 (gPV) and UL 2579 for fuses and UL 489B for breakers that define specific characteristics an OCPD should meet for protecting PV systems. The range of Eaton OCPDs for PV string and PV array protection have been specifically designed to meet these standards. ## **PV Fuses** - Fully tested to the requirements of IEC 60269-6 and exceed the requirements of operating at 1.45 x In (1.45 times the nominal current). They also meet the requirements of UL 2579 that are very similar to the IEC standards, except they operate at 1.35 x In (1.35 times the nominal current). - The current ratings assigned to PV fuses are defined by the performance requirements of IEC 60269-6 and UL 2579 in order to protect PV modules during overcurrent situations. These IEC and UL ratings do not reflect a continuous service rating. The assigned service rating should be reduced at increased ambient temperatures. - To ensure longevity of PV fuses, they should not be subjected to a continuous current of more than 80% of the assigned IEC and UL ratings. ## **PV Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs) and Molded Case Switches (MCS)** - Fully tested, met and exceeded to the requirements of UL 489B: operating at 1.35 x In (1.35 times the nominal current) within 1 or 2 hours depending on amp rating (50A or less or over 50A respectively) and calibrated at 50°C ambient temperature. - The current ratings assigned to PV circuit breakers are defined by the performance requirements of UL 489B in order to protect PV modules during overcurrent situations. MCCBs and MCS’ are listed for a continuous load application. The assigned service rating should be reduced at increased ambient temperatures above 50°C. - PV circuit breakers come in two application ratings: 80% and 100%. To ensure longevity of PV circuit breakers, each rating should be properly applied: a continuous current of 80% or 100% of the assigned UL ratings. ## **PV Array construction** **==> picture [44 x 129] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

**Figure 2: PV system construction** - PV Cells are combined to create a PV Module - PV Modules are connected in series to create a PV String - PV Strings are connected in parallel to create a PV Array The total voltage of a PV module or PV array is determined by the number of individual cells connected in series with each size usually between 4’’ and 6’’ square. An individual PV module is made up of a series PV cells. ## **PV Source circuits** The commonly used PV modules are made with 4’’, 5’’ and 6’’ polycrystalline silicon, or thin film cells. The Maximum-Power-Point (MPP) of the PV modules of equal PV cell dimensions can vary as much as 35% between manufacturers. When selecting the appropriate PV fuses, the specified Short-Circuit Current (Isc) and reverse current characteristics specified by the manufacturer should be used. The PV module manufacturer’s specifications should be consulted to confirm the PV module’s output amperage and voltage under the expected range of conditions for the proposed installation. These conditions are influenced by the ambient temperature, the sun’s incident angle and the amount of solar energy reaching the PV module. These are usually mentioned as coefficients on the manufacturer’s specifications. Manufacturers also suggest the maximum series fuse rating or a reverse current rating. Both of these are based on PV modules withstanding 1.35 times this rating for two hours. 6 **Protecting PV Systems — Source Circuits** ## **PV Source circuit protection overview** **==> picture [253 x 133] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

**Figure 3: PV source circuit protection overview with NEC[®] defined circuits designated by arrows.** Depending on the desired PV system capacity, there may be several PV strings connected in parallel to achieve higher amperage and subsequently more power. Systems that have less than three PV strings will not generate enough fault current (short-circuit) to damage the PV modules, conductors or downstream equipment, and do not present a safety hazard, provided the conductor is correctly sized based on local codes and installation requirements. When three or more PV strings are connected in parallel, a PV fuse on each PV string will protect the PV modules and conductors from overcurrent faults and help minimize any safety hazards. The PV fuse will also isolate the faulted PV string so the balance of the PV system can continue to generate electricity. The difference between DC molded case switch and the DC disconnect switch solutions in Figure 3 is a different type of disconnect means. PV fuses are used for overcurrent protection in either case. MCS in this PV string combiner box provides the dual function of a disconnect means with remote OFF operation suitable for meeting the NEC[®] 2014 690.12 requirement for PV rapid shutdown. ## **NEC[®] 2014 Article 690.12 Rapid Shutdown** With NEC[®] 2014 Article 690.12 there is a requirement for Rapid shutdown of PV systems and it reads as follows: “690.12 Rapid Shutdown of PV Systems on Buildings PV system circuit installed on or in buildings shall include a rapid shutdown function that controls specific conductors in accordance with 690.12(1) through (5) as follows: - (2) Controlled conductors shall be limited to not more than 30 volts and 240 volt-amperes within 10 seconds of rapid shutdown initiation. - (3) Voltage and power shall be measured between any two conductors and between any conductor and ground. - (4) The rapid shutdown initiation methods shall be labeled in accordance with 690.56(B). - (5) Equipment that performs the rapid shutdown shall be listed and identified.” First responders must contend with elements of a PV system that remain energized after the service disconnect is opened. This rapid shutdown requirement provides a zone outside of which the potential for shock has been mitigated. Conductors more than 5 feet inside a building or more than 10 feet from an array will be limited to a maximum of 30 V and 240VA within 10 seconds of activation of shutdown. Ten seconds allows time for any dc capacitor banks to discharge. Methods and designs for achieving proper rapid shutdown are not addresses (sic) by the NEC[®] but instead are addressed in the product standards for this type of equipment. It should be remembered that PV module output changes with the operating temperature and the amount of sun light it is exposed to. The amount of exposure is dependent on irradiance level, angle of incidence and the shading effect from trees, buildings and clouds. In operation, PV fuses and circuit breakers, as thermal devices, are influenced by ambient temperature. The PV OCPD’s ampacity should be derated according to the manufacturer’s published curves and NEC[®] 690 requirements. - (1) Requirement of controlled conductors shall apply only to PV system conductors of more than 1.5 m (5 ft) in length inside a building, or more than 3 m (10 ft) from a PV array. 7 **Protecting PV Systems — Source Circuits** ## **Component Standards and Ratings** It is vital to understand component, terminal and conductor temperature ratings and deratings as they relate to PV installations. ## **Calculations to verify volts and amps:** - Fuse voltage rating ≥ 1.20 x Voc x Ns - Fuse amp rating ≥ 1.56 x Isc - PV Fuse amp rating ≤ Iz* ## **Component ratings** Per UL 489B, PV circuit breakers are rated to standard test conditions in open air at 50°C. In actual applications, ambient temperatures in enclosures can exceed 50°C. When high ambient temperatures are encountered appropriate component derating must be taken into account in the specifying process. See individual product technical detail sheets for specific information on derating and derating factors to use in determining the correct rating for the application. ## **Terminal ratings** The PV circuit breakers and molded case switch terminals listed in this document and catalog # CA08100005E are rated for 75°C conductors. Fuse holders, blocks and disconnects may be rated for 75°C or less, depending on the type of terminal. Even though a 90°C conductor may be used, it must be connected to the component at the terminal’s rated ampacity at 75°C per NEC[®] 110.14(C)(1)(a)(3). ## **Conductor ratings and sizing** Like circuit breakers and fuses, conductors are also rated to standard test conditions, although this is done for most conductors in open air at 30°C. Per NEC[®] Table 310.15(B)(2)(a) conductors need to be derated to determine a conductor size that will safely carry the anticipated current generated by the PV system. For more information on conductor sizing, see the Bussmann publication # 3002 Selecting Protective Devices (SPD) electrical protection handbook. ## **Selecting fuses for PV source circuits** While a full study of all the parameters is recommended, the following factors should be used when selecting a PV fuse to cover most installation variations: - 1.56 for amps - 1.20 for voltage ## **PV Module specifications include:** Bussmann recommends using PV fuses in both the positive and negative conductors, each with adequate voltage rating (as above). ## **Additional considerations:** - Voltage Rating — Per NEC[®] Table 690.7, if the system is required to operate below -40°C (-40°F), replace the 1.20 factor with 1.25. - Amp Rating — Additional derating may be required when the fuse is installed in a high ambient temperature environment. See individual fuse data sheets for derating curves. - Fuse protection is required in any PV system that is connected to a battery. ## **Understanding total PV source circuit short-circuit current** **==> picture [243 x 171] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

## _Photovoltaic Source Circuits_ ## **Figure 4: Faulted PV source circuit.** The total short-circuit current in Figure 4 that will flow through Fuse 1 is the number of parallel source circuits (Np) minus the faulted circuit that is no longer supplying power, multiplied by the total fault current for each PV source circuit (Isc ) plus a 1.25 factor per the NEC[®] , or: - (Np - 1) x 1.25 x Isc = Total short-circuit current. - Isc = Short-circuit current of one module at Standard Test Conditions (STC) - Voc = Open circuit voltage of one PV module at STC ## **Initial conditions for specifying PV fuses:** Ns = Number of PV modules in series per PV string Np = Number of PV strings in parallel per PV sub-array * Iz Current capacity of conductors properly sized for the PV system. 8 **Protecting PV Systems — Source Circuits** ## **Example — Selecting fuses for PV source circuits** Once it’s determined that the maximum short-circuit current exceeds the conductor’s continuous current rating, selecting the correct PV source circuit fuse is as follows: ## **Manufacturer’s module specifications include:** - Isc = 8.99A Short-circuit current of one module at Standard Test Conditions (STC) - Voc = 45.6V Open circuit voltage of one PV module at STC - PV Cell type: polycrystalline silicon - PV Cell size: 125mm[2] (5”) - PV Cells and connection — 72 cells in series ## **PV Installation set-up:** - Ns = 18 PV modules in series per PV string - Np = 28 PV strings in parallel per PV sub-array - PV module max ambient: 60°C (140°F) - PV module min ambient: -25°C (-13°F) ## **Calculation:** **Note:** When calculating for high ambient temperature applications, include the appropriate derating factors. - Conductor size formula ≥ 1.56 x Isc = 1.56 x 8.99A = 14.02A - Conductor size: 14AWG* = 25A** 14AWG at 60°C = 25A x 0.71 Iz = 17.75A - Array max Isc_array = (Np -1) x 1.25 x Isc = (28-1) x 1.25 x 8.99A = 303.4A - Array max Isc_array > conductor rating; PV source circuit fuses are needed - Fuse amp rating ≥1.56 x Isc = 1.56 x 8.99A = 14.02A min - Maximum system voltage = 1.20 x Voc x Ns = 1.20 x 45.6V x 18 = 985V The required PV fuse needs to be 1000Vdc and 15A. **Note:** Fuse amp rating must be equal to or less than the Iz ampacity of the selected conductor. Bussmann part numbers are: - PV-15A10F (ferrule - page 19) - PV-15A10T (bolt fixing - page 19) - PV-15A10-1P (PCB fixing - page 19) - PV-15A10F-CT (in-line crimp terminal - page 19) - HPV-DV-15A (in-line fuse assembly - page 25) The selected PV fuses will protect the conductor and the PV source circuit against reverse current faults. * 75°C component terminal rating for 14AWG = 20A. ** Conductor rating per NEC[®] Table 310.15(B)(2)(a) for 90°C copper wire. 9 **Protecting PV Systems — Output Circuits** ## **PV output circuit and inverter input circuit protection overview** **==> picture [253 x 172] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

**Figure 5: PV output circuit protection (array protection) with NEC[®] defined circuits designated by arrows.** Depending on the PV system capacity, there may be several PV output circuits (each output circuit consisting of multiple PV source circuits) connected in parallel to achieve higher ampacity and subsequently more power. A PV Overcurrent Protective Device (OCPD) on each PV output circuit will protect the conductors from fault currents and help minimize any safety hazards. It will also isolate the faulted PV output circuit so that the rest of the PV system will continue generating electricity. ## **Selecting fuses for PV output circuits** While a full study of all the parameters is recommended, the following factors should be used when selecting the PV fuse to cover most installation variations: - 1.56 for amps - 1.20 for voltage ## **Initial conditions for specifying PV fuses:** - Ns = Number of PV modules in series per PV string - Np = Number of PV strings in parallel per PV sub-array - Nsub = Number of PV sub-arrays in parallel per PV array Isc = Short-circuit current of one PV module at Standard Test Conditions (STC) - Voc = Open circuit voltage of one PV module at STC ## **Calculations to verify volts, amps and conductor size:** - Fuse voltage rating ≥ 1.20 x Voc x Ns - PV Output circuit ≥ 1.56 x Isc x Np amp rating - Inverter input circuit ≥ 1.56 x Isc x Np x Nsub amp rating - PV Fuse amp rating ≤ Iz* Bussmann recommends using PV fuses on positive and negative conductors, each with adequate voltage rating. Selective coordination with PV string fuses may not be achieved under some fault conditions. ## **Additional Considerations:** - Voltage Rating — Per NEC[®] Table 690.7, if the system is required to operate below -40°C (-40°F), replace the 1.20 factor with 1.25. - Amp Rating — Additional derating may be required when the fuse is installed in a high ambient temperature environment. See individual fuse data sheets for derating curves. - Fuse protection is required in any PV system that is connected to a battery. A PV OCPD positioned in the conductor that carries the combined power output from a number of PV output circuits should be protected by a PV output circuit OCPD. If a number of PV output circuits are subsequently combined prior to the inverter, then another PV OCPD should be incorporated. This would be termed the PV inverter input circuit as shown above. It should be remembered that the PV module performance varies with temperature and irradiance level. In operation, PV OCPDs are influenced by ambient temperature and derating should be factored in when being specified. * Iz Current capacity of conductors properly sized for the PV system. 10 **Protecting PV Systems — Output Circuits** ## **Example — Selecting fuses for PV output circuits** ## **Manufacturer’s module specifications include:** - Isc = 8.99A Short-circuit current of one PV module at Standard Test Conditions (STC) - Voc = 45.6V Open circuit voltage of one PV module at STC ## **PV Installation set-up:** - Ns = 18 PV modules in series per PV string - Np = 8 PV strings in parallel per PV sub-array - Nsub = 3 PV sub-arrays in parallel per PV array - PV module max ambient: 60°C (140°F) ## **Example — Inverter input circuit protection** If Nsub PV sub-arrays are to be further connected via a recombiner to the inverter input circuit, the PV array PV fuse rating should be at least: ≥ 1.56 x Isc x Np x Nsub = 1.56 x 8.99A x 8 x 3 = 336A min Therefore, a 1000Vdc 350A PV fuse should be selected. Bussmann part numbers are: - PV-350ANH3 (NH3 PV fuse, page 21) - PV-350A-2XL (XL2 PV blade fixing fuse, page 22) - PV-350A-2XL-B (XL2 PV bolt fixing fuse, page 22) - PV module min ambient: -25°C (-13°F) ## **Calculation:** **Note:** When calculating for high ambient temperature applications, include the appropriate derating factors. - Conductor size formula - ≥ 1.56 x Isc x Np = 1.56 x 8.99A x 8 - = 112A - Conductor size: 1/0* = 170A** 1/0 at 60°C = 170A x 0.71 Iz = 120.7A - PV Sub-array max Isc_sub = (Nsub -1) x Np x 1.25 x Isc = (3-1) x 8 x 1.25 x 8.99A = 180A - PV Sub-array maximum fault current Isc - sub > conductor rating; PV fuses are required - PV Fuse amp rating ≥ 1.56 x Isc x Np = 1.56 x 8.99A x 8 = 112A min - PV Fuse voltage rating ≥ 1.20 x Voc x Ns = 1.20 x 45.6V x 18 = 985V Therefore, select a standard 1000Vdc PV fuse rating of 125A. **Note:** Fuse amp rating must be equal to or less than the Iz ampacity of the selected conductor. Bussmann part numbers are: - PV-125ANH1 (NH1 PV fuse, page 21) - PV-125A-01XL (XL01 PV blade fixing fuse, page 22) - PV-125A-01XL-B (XL01 PV bolt fixing fuse, page 22) * 75°C component terminal rating for 1/0 = 150A. ** Conductor rating per NEC[®] Table 310.15(B)(2)(a) for 90°C copper wire. 11 **Protecting PV Systems — Output Circuits** ## **Selecting circuit breakers for PV output circuits** **==> picture [229 x 167] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

**Figure 6: PV output circuit protection with NEC[®] defined circuits designated by arrows.** PV circuit breakers are available in 600 and 1000Vdc models with either 80% or 100% ratings. Understanding the difference between 80% and 100% rated circuit breakers is important. The major benefit of a 100% rated circuit breaker is the ability to apply 100% of its nameplate ampacity, allowing an opportunity for reduction in circuit breaker ampacity, frame size, conductor size and potentially the enclosure size. ## **100% Rated breakers:** - Circuit breaker voltage rating ≥ 1.20 x Voc x Ns - PV Output circuit ≥ 1.25 x Isc x Np amp rating - Inverter input circuit ≥ 1.25 x Isc x Np x Nsub amp rating - PV Circuit breaker amp rating ≤ Iz* **Note:** Selective coordination with PV circuit breakers on the PV source circuits may not be achieved under some fault conditions. ## **Additional Considerations:** - Voltage Rating — Per NEC[®] Table 690.7, if the system is required to operate below -40°C (-40°F), replace the 1.20 factor with 1.25. - Amp Rating — Additional derating may be required when the circuit breaker is installed in a high ambient temperature environment. See circuit breaker technical document for details. - DC Rated circuit breaker protection is required in any PV system that is connected to a battery. ## **80% Rated circuit breaker** Combine the total ampacity of the PV source circuits using a 1.56 derating factor (module Isc x 1.25 x 1.25 x number of strings in parallel). ## **100% Rated circuit breaker** Combine the total ampacity of the PV source circuits using a 1.25 derating factor (module Isc x 1.25 x number of strings in parallel). ## **Initial conditions for specifying PV circuit breakers:** - Ns = Number of PV modules in series per PV string Np = Number of PV strings in parallel per PV sub-array Nsub = Number of PV sub-arrays in parallel per PV array Isc = Short-circuit current of one PV module at Standard Test Conditions (STC) - Voc = Open circuit voltage of one PV module at STC ## **Calculations to verify volts, amps and conductor size** ## **80% Rated breakers:** - Circuit breaker voltage rating ≥ 1.20 x Voc x Ns - • PV Output circuit ≥ 1.56 x Isc x Np amp rating - Inverter input circuit ≥ 1.56 x Isc x Np x Nsub amp rating ## **Eaton Design Suggestion** ## **PV Molded case switches ease compliance with NEC[®] Rapid Shutdown requirement.** **==> picture [178 x 159] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

The PV molded case switch shown in this PV source circuit combiner provides a dual function of a disconnect means with remote OFF operation suitable for the NEC[®] 2014 690.12 PV rapid shutdown requirement. - PV Circuit breaker amp rating ≤ Iz* * Iz Current capacity of conductors properly sized for the PV system. 12 **Protecting PV Systems — Output Circuits** ## **Example — Selecting circuit breakers for PV output circuits** ## **Manufacturer’s module specifications:** - Isc = 8.99A Short-circuit current of one PV module at Standard Test Conditions (STC) - Voc = 45.6V Open circuit voltage of one PV module at STC ## **PV Installation set-up:** - Ns = 18 PV strings in series per PV array - Np = 8 PV output circuits in parallel per PV output circuit combiner - Nsub = 3 PV sub-arrays in parallel per PV array - Module max ambient: 60°C (140°F) - Module min ambient: -25°C (-13°F) ## **Calculations** **Note:** When calculating for high ambient temperature applications, include the appropriate derating factors. ## **80% Rated molded case circuit breaker (1000Vdc) 50°C:** - Conductor size formula - ≥ 1.56 x Isc x Np = 1.56 x 8.99A x 8 = 112A - Conductor size: 1/0* = 170A** 1/0 at 60°C = 170A x 0.71 - Iz = 120.7A[†] - PV Sub-array max Isc_sub = (Nsub -1) x Np x 1.25 x Isc = (3-1) x 8 x 1.25 x 8.99A = 180A - PV Sub-array maximum fault current Isc - sub > conductor withstand; PV circuit breakers are required - PV Circuit breaker ≥ 1.56 x Isc x Np amp rating = 1.56 x 8.99A x 8 = 112A min - PV Circuit breaker ≥ 1.20 x Voc x Ns voltage rating = 1.20 x 45.6V x 18 = 985V Therefore, a 1000Vdc 125 amp[†] PV circuit breaker should be selected such as KDPV4125W. See page 27. **Note:** Circuit breaker amp rating must be equal to or less than the Iz ampacity of the selected conductor unless a standard rating in unavailable[†] . ## **100% Rated molded case circuit breaker (1000Vdc) 50°C:** - Conductor size formula ≥ 1.25 x Isc x Np = 1.25 x 8.99A x 8 = 90A - Conductor size: 2AWG* = 130A** 2AWG at 60°C = 130A x 0.71 Iz = 92A - PV Sub-array max Isc_sub = (Nsub -1) x Np x 1.25 x Isc = (3-1) x 8 x 1.25 x 8.99A = 180A - PV Sub-array maximum fault current Isc - sub > conductor withstand; PV circuit breakers are required - PV Circuit breaker ≥ 1.25 x Isc x Np amp rating = 1.25 x 8.99A x 8 = 90A min - PV Circuit breaker ≥ 1.20 x Voc x Ns voltage rating = 1.20 x 45.6V x 18 = 985V Therefore, a 1000Vdc 90A PV circuit breaker should be selected such as CFDPV4090W. See page 27. **Note:** Circuit breaker amp rating must be equal to or less than the Iz ampacity of the selected conductor unless a standard rating in unavailable[†] . ## **Example — Inverter input circuit protection** If Nsub PV sub-arrays are to be further connected via a recombiner to the inverter input circuit, the PV array PV circuit breaker rating should be at least: ## **80% Rated molded case circuit breaker (1000Vdc) 50°C:** - ≥ 1.56 x Isc x Np x Nsub = 1.56 x 8.99A x 8 x 3 = 337A min Therefore, a 1000Vdc 350A PV circuit breaker should be selected such as KDPV4350W, LGPV4350W or MDLPV3350W. See page 27. ## **100% Rated molded case circuit breaker (1000Vdc) 50°C:** ≥ 1.25 x Isc x Np x Nsub = 1.25 x 8.99A x 8 x 3 = 270A min Therefore, a 1000Vdc 300A PV circuit breaker should be selected such as CKDPV4300W, CLGPV4300W or CMDLPV3300W. See page 27. **Note:** Conductor size examples above are for comparison only. - 75°C component terminal rating for:[1/0 = 150A] - 2AWG = 115A - ** Conductor rating per NEC[®] Table 310.15(B)(2)(a) for 90°C copper wire. - Per NEC[®] 240.4(B), if the conductor ampacity does not correspond to a standard circuit breaker amp rating, it is permitted to select the next higher circuit breaker amp rating. 13 **PV Product Overview** ## **PV Fuses** |Body

SCI technology utilizes an internal fast-acting fuse to fully
isolate the SPD when a fault condition is encountered.
1. Normal operating state; conduction path is through MOV
to ground.
**----- End of picture text -----**
2. MOV Failure trips thermal disconnect, moving contact off the MOV and starts DC arc. 3. As contact moves, DC arc is extinguished and the contact engages the fuse. Series connection of modules between line and ground extends MOV life and permits higher voltage ratings. 4. Fuse opens, isolating the SPD from the system, allowing safe module replacement and continued flow of power from PV arrays to inverter. **Data Sheets: 2055 (3-module) & 2145 (2-module)** **Data Sheet: 10091** 32 **DIN-Rail PV Surge Protective Devices** ## **PV ADVANCE — Lightning** - Class I SPD per IEC 61643-11 standards for PV systems up to 1000V DC. - • Complements and enhances total aT PV system protection when used in combination with PV HEAVY DUTY or PV PRO SPDs up to 1000Vdc Application C: “I” Configuration - one energized pole/mode 600Vdc & 1000Vdc systems only **==> picture [48 x 68] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**
