Re: [RE-wrenches] NEC 2014 690.12 Rapid Shutdown

2014-01-31 Thread Exeltech
Brian,

UL1741, Section 64.11 stipulates the discharge time for capacitors at less than 
five minutes.

Though the context of this Section specifically addresses capacitors that are 
accessible by some aspect of inverter disassembly, it would also be appropriate 
to extend its applicability to DC terminals across which capacitors are 
connected and are otherwise accessible by an external means, such as DC 
conductors.

 What about the capacitors on the dc side of the inverter?  My assumption has 
been that this capacitance is the reason behind the 690.17(E) labeling 
requirement.  Admittedly I don't understand the discharge capabilities of 
capacitors, but I've measured their voltage and watched it decay when 
disconnected from a power source (and heard stories about toss the 
capacitive-laden ballast to the newbie ha ha...).  

So the question is, say for a of a roof mounted array and a ground-level string 
inverter, will additional equipment (either in the inverter or external) be 
required to isolate the PV/dc circuit conductors from the inverter in order to 
meet 690.12?

Brian,
 
The requirement is generic. A listed contactor can meet the requirement. A 
standard is only necessary for products that want to be innovative in meeting 
the 30V, 240VA. Killing all power is an option with existing listed equipment. 
NEC 90.4 does not apply.

Allan,
  
  We just finished replacing a BP SX170 pole top array under
  warranty and BP provided us with the Ameresco 4190J modules.
  We had to install cords with the MC4 connectors on the J-boxes but
  other than that, they bolted right in.
  
  The dimensions are almost identical to the SX-170 and the bolt
  holes line up nicelyand they are a 72 cell module.

  We have a good customer for whom we put in an off grid system in

  us replacement modules or send a check for purchase of
  replacements elsewhere. The problem is that their only offerings
  are 60-cell modules, which won't fit the trackers.
  
  BP got out of the solar business before the standard configuration

  probably buy 27 of them, once we determine that the replacements
  can be fit to the racks.
  
  Can anyone suggest a brand/model/supplier etc.? I have seen that
  Eopply shows 195W mono modules in the U.S. section of their

Yes, but no. Two problems: 
1. Panasonic went to 60 cell and 96 cell modules and dropped the

2. According to a rep at Focused Energy, you can't buy Panasonic
in the US any more. They're way more interested in the domestic

That worked. The number published in the CDD manual is NOT correct. Thanks!

 Jason,



 We've been able to get a hold of tech support at 877.261.1374 which I
 think is the normal number they have on their website. Good luck. -August

 Does anyone know how to get Power-one technical support to call you back
 about an Aurora microinverter activation issue? Their technical support
 line goes straight to voicemail.



 I'm not impressed at all by the activation process.

I have had great luck with   PV
Cableshttp://www.pv-cables.com/Custom_Cables-Create_a_Custom_600V_USE-2_Output_Cable.html.
 Quick service and reasonable prices.  They do have MC-3 connectors and
custom made cables.

 I have a customer with some older Sharp modules, and he's in need of four
