The evolving landscape of energy transition and renewable resource integration is driving increased demand for advanced electrical systems capable of handling larger capacities.
Manufacturers in the renewable energy sector are ramping up the capabilities of their devices, which, in turn, necessitates the development of circuit protection devices and disconnect switches designed to meet rising voltage requirements on photovoltaic panels, combiner boxes, battery storage, and inverters.
Molded Case Circuit Breaker Solutions
NOARK has introduced two product lines that cater to these growing system requirements: the 800V Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) family and the 1500Vdc Molded Case Circuit Breaker family.
These devices serve different applications within renewable energy systems. The 800V MCCB is designed for use at the inverter's output, while the 1500Vdc MCCB is positioned at the output of combiner boxes and the input of inverters.
Features of the 800V MCCB Family
The 800V MCCB line includes both 3-pole molded case circuit breakers and disconnect switches
The 800V MCCB line includes both 3-pole molded case circuit breakers and disconnect switches. It offers an amp rating range from 60A to 400A across two frame sizes, with operational voltage extending up to 800 Vac.
The interrupting capacity reaches up to 50kA at 800 Vac, ensuring robust protection. Additionally, a wide array of accessories is available, including auxiliary/alarm switches, shunt trip, undervoltage trip modules, extended rotary handles, and motor operators.
Certifications of the 800V MCCB
The 800V MCCB family is UL489 Listed with File No. E355392 and complies with CSA C22.2 No. 5, also under the same file number.
1500Vdc MCCB Features
The 1500Vdc MCCB line is available as a 2-pole molded case circuit breaker with an amp rating range from 200A to 400A
The 1500Vdc MCCB line is available as a 2-pole molded case circuit breaker with an amp rating range from 200A to 400A within a single frame size. It supports operational voltages of up to 1500Vdc, with interrupting capacities reaching 18kA at 1500Vdc.
Like its 800V counterpart, it offers a comprehensive selection of accessories, including auxiliary/alarm switches, shunt trip, and extended rotary handles and motor operators.
Certifications of the 1500Vdc MCCB
This product line is UL489B Listed, File No. E513573, and meets CSA C22.2 No. 305 standards under the same file number.
