In most photovoltaic systems, the dc isolator is integrated into the dc/ac power inverter. After switching off the dc isolator, the cables between the dc solar modules and dc/ac power inverter running through the building are still subject to up to 1000 v dc. in the event of a fire, firefighters are exposed to a very serious source of potential danger. The ONCCY firefighter safety switch provides the solution. It directly disconnects the dc current in close proximity to the solar modules and creates a safer situation for firefighters.
As soon as a firefighter shuts down the main AC circuit, the ERS/ERP will detect this. If this power down situation lasts longer than 5 seconds, the
ERS/ERP will automatically switch to the OFF position. Since the ERS/ERP is located close to the PV modules, the high voltage DC current from the PV modules will be completely isolated, which leaves a safe situation for the firefighters when fighting a fire in the commercial or residential building.
