Solar Energy

Solar installations face challenges that standard AC components were never designed to handle sustained DC arcs, lightning-induced surges across open fields, and strict grid interconnection safety codes.

THE CHALLENGE

Three Critical Risks in Solar Systems

Understanding why standard protection fails and how WTAIDQ solves each problem at the component level.

DC MCB with Magnetic Blowout Technology
WTAIDQ SOLUTION

DC MCB with Magnetic Blowout Technology

Our DC MCBs use a permanent magnet that creates a Lorentz force on the arc physically pushing it into a segmented arc chute where it's stretched, cooled, and extinguished. Rated to 1500V DC with 6kA/10kA breaking capacity. The pole configuration (2P series / 4P series-parallel) matches your system voltage and current.

  • Permanent magnet blowout chamber
  • Segmented arc chute for rapid cooling
  • IEC 60947-2 certified for DC applications
Type 2 DC Surge Protection at String Level
WTAIDQ SOLUTION

Type 2 DC Surge Protection at String Level

Our DC SPDs are specifically designed and tested to IEC 61643-31 for photovoltaic systems. Plug-in modules with visual status indication and remote signaling contacts. Installed at each combiner box input, they clamp surge voltages in nanoseconds before the energy reaches your panels or inverter.

  • IEC 61643-31 certified (not adapted from AC)
  • 40kA Imax · 1500V DC · Plug-in replaceable
  • Remote signaling for monitoring integration
DC Isolator + AC Protection Chain
WTAIDQ SOLUTION

DC Isolator + AC Protection Chain

Our DC isolator switches provide true visible-break isolation per IEC 60947-3, rated to 1500V DC. On the AC side, MCCBs with adjustable trip settings protect the inverter output, while motorized ATS units manage grid-to-backup switching for systems with battery storage or diesel backup.

  • DC Isolator: 1500V · door-mount · padlockable
  • AC MCCB: 690V · 36–100kA · adjustable trip
  • ATS: 250–3200A · automatic/manual/remote

APPLICATIONS

Where Our Solar Products Perform

Every component purpose-built for photovoltaic DC applications not adapted from AC designs.

Residential Rooftop — 3–10kW

Single-string or dual-string systems with DC isolator at the array, DC MCB+SPD at a compact wall-mount combiner, and RCBO protection on the AC side. Plug-and-play kits available for distributor partners.

Commercial Rooftop — 30–500kW

Multi-string arrays feeding centralized inverter stations. Each string protected at the combiner box level. AC MCCBs at inverter outputs with selective coordination to isolate faults without shutting down the entire rooftop.

Utility-Scale Ground Mount — 1–100MW+

Hundreds of combiner boxes across hectares of terrain. DC MCBs with high breaking capacity for parallel string configurations. Type 2 SPDs at every combiner input. Central AC protection at the MV transformer station

Solar + Battery Storage (Hybrid)

Bidirectional protection on both DC battery circuits and AC grid interconnection. Specialized DC MCBs for battery strings with high prospective fault current. Type B RCDs where battery inverters produce smooth DC residual current.
