Solar Branch Connector. Solar power installation offers immense potential for building the sustainable energy future. Be it roof-top setup or large-scale solar farm, the efficiency and reliability of your system depends on the selection of appropriate components. Connector system play vital role in reliability of the installation and one such connector is the Branch Connector. Alternately the Overmoulded branch joints that has become more and more popular due to its ease of use.
What are a Solar Branch Connectors?
The connector that facilitates connection of standard two male or two female straight connectors on one side and reduce to possible connection of one female or male connector on the other side implementing a low loss joint that is completely moulded to form one physical block is referred as the Branch Connector.
About ‘elmex’ Branch Connectors
‘elmex’PV Solar Branch connectors EBPV4M-N and EBPV4F-N are applicable for series and parallel connections with PV straight male or female connectors depending on the site requirements. Branch connectors have 3 branches, 2 for inputs, either male or female and 1 for output, either male or female.
These connectors are constructed using flame retardant thermoplastic suitable for exposure to UV rays and for application in PV power generation system. When mated, they can be disconnected with the use of ‘elmex’ make open end spanner.
Technical Details and General Specifications of ‘elmex’ Solar Branch Connector
Why Branch Connectors are used?
- Facilitating Series Connections:
Solar panels are typically connected in series to increase the voltage output of the system. ‘elmex’ Branch connectors rated for 1500 VDC enable the connection of multiple panels in series, allowing for the efficient utilization of the generated electricity. - Managing Parallel Connections:
In addition to series connections, solar panels may also be connected in parallel to increase the system’s current capacity. ‘elmex’ Branch connectors rated for 54 A facilitate the parallel connection of panels, ensuring balanced current distribution and maximizing overall system performance. - Optimizing System Lay:
Solar plants often consist of arrays of solar panels arranged in various configurations to maximize energy production. Branch connectors enable the customization and optimization of system layouts, allowing for flexibility in design and installation. - Simplifying Installation and Maintenance:
Branch connectors simplify the installation process by providing secure and reliable connections between solar panels, inverters, and other system components. They also facilitate easier maintenance and troubleshooting, allowing for quick identification and resolution of any issues that may arise. - Ensuring System Efficiency: Efficient electrical connections are essential for maximizing the energy output of solar plants. ‘elmex’ Branch connectors with low contact resistance (typically ≤ 0.5 mΩ) and high conductivity help minimize power losses and optimize the efficiency of the overall system.
Thus ‘elmex’ Branch connectors offer robust connectivity system that can address versatile needs on the sites. Alternate solution, that is becoming very popular and preferred by EPC are the Overmoulded joints. These joints offer similar advantages as that of Branch Connectors and provide enhance modularity on the site.
