Application of “PolySwitch” fuses for the limitation of current overloads in photovoltaic systems of solar arrays
Journal Title: Journal of Physics and Electronics - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 1
Abstract
The results of experimental study of the transformation of the light current-voltage and volt-watt characteristics for the parallel connections of photovoltaic modules when using “PolySwitch” polymer resettable fuses are given. The conditions for selecting such fuses which allow their correctly triggering and minimize the current overload are formulated and experimentally verified. It is established that if resettable fuses are connected in series to the circuits of all photovoltaic modules, which are connected in parallel thus forming a unit, this prevents such a situation as the complete loss of electrical energy generated by this unit due to the short circuit of one of its modules. At the fuse triggering the total power loss of the unit of parallelly connected photovoltaic modules is mainly determined by the decrease of its current by the amount that is equal to the current of the disconnected photovoltaic module.
