What size DC breaker do I need

Calculating the appropriate fuse or breaker size for a branch circuit is straightforward. For most applications, an overcurrent device should be sized about 125% of the load’s rated amperage. This way, your load will be protected from electrical short-circuit.

The factors that cause solar connector to break

Solar connectors are an essential component of any solar system. They act as the link between solar panels and the inverter which converts the DC electricity into AC electricity. What happens when solar connectors break? 1. Poor Quality Connectors: One of the primary reasons for solar connectors to break is the use of low-quality connectors. Usually, […]

Propagation of a lightning wave

Propagation of a lightning wave

Electrical networks are low-frequency and, as a result, propagation of the voltage wave is instantaneous relative to the frequency of the phenomenon: at any point of a conductor, the instantaneous voltage is the same. The lightning wave is a high-frequency phenomenon (several hundred kHz to a MHz): 1.       The lightning wave is propagated along a […]

Technical Characteristics of SPDs

Technical Characteristics of SPDs

SPDs’ operating characteristics are defined by several technical characteristics. The following are some technical characteristics that should be considered: maximum continuous operating voltage, ac or dc application, nominal discharge current (defined by a magnitude and waveform), voltage-protection level (the terminal voltage that is present when the SPDs are discharging a specific current) and temporary overvoltage […]
