6 REASONS TO CHOOSE THE SANTON FIREFIGHTER SAFETY SWITCH
- GAIN VALUABLE TIME IN CASE OF A FIRE. The DFS works according to standard international firefighter routines, resulting in valuable time bein C power is shut down, the DFS will automatically switch off and isolate DC cables running between the PV modules and the inverter. Firefighters only have to follow their regular routine and do not have to waste valuable time eliminating the risk of DC power still present at these cables. In case the AC power is not shut down and the temperature reaches 100 C at the DFS unit it will automatically shut down the DC power as extra safety system.
- COMPLETELY ISOLATE PV MODULES. The DFS is powered by a motorized X-type switch and can therefore be located directly at the PV modules. This minimizes the amount of cabling with dangerous high voltage and leads to a completely powerless situation in the house, maximizing safety when needed.
- AUTO RESETA. power down situation can occur at any time and for many reasons. The DFS has an auto reset function. The DFS automatically switches off if the regular AC power is down for more than 5 sec and automatically switches on when the regular AC power is on again. No manual reset is necessary every time the power has been down! After check of the safety situation and when the AC main power is reconnected automatically the Santon Firefighter safety switch will switch on the DC power.
- FOR USE IN INDUSTRIAL AND RESIDENTIAL PHOTOVOLTAIC INSTALLATIONS. By using this standard concept unit for either 1 or 2 strings it is possible to combine unlimited number of units to fix every size of installation. As option it is possible to connect all units to the same AC source in order to create a separate DC on- off operation by switching this specific AC source on – off that will operate all units at the same time. Again reset is done automatically AC on = DC on AC off = DC off. These units can be easily retrofitted to existing or new installation.
- CONTAINS THE WORLD’S MOST POPULAR DC SWITCH. The DFS is equipped with the Santon X-type switch, which is the most popular DC switch for PV applications. The Santon ‘snap-action’ spring mechanism, with its response time of only 3 milliseconds, reduces the electric arc. In combination with the self-cleaning contacts, this increases durability and safety. Therefore the Santon X-type switch has been selected by many inverter manufacturers as their no. 1 DC switch.
