SolarBOS Announces New ReCombiners with Disconnects, Contactors and GFI

The new SolarBOS ReCombiners can also be specified with the industry's first true Ground Fault Interruption (GFI) solution for PV systems in North America.

LIVERMORE, CA - 21 February 2012 - SolarBOS, Inc., a leader in electrical 'Balance of System' solutions for the solar industry, is pleased to announce their new line of ReCombiners for large commercial and utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems. The new ReCombiners are listed to UL 1741 for up to 1000 VDC and 2560 amps. They can also be specified with disconnects or contactors that meet the new fuse servicing requirements of the 2011 National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 690.16.B.


The new SolarBOS ReCombiners can also be specified with the industry's first true Ground Fault Interruption (GFI) solution for PV systems in North America. By using a differential current sensor(s) to detect leakage current in the array wiring, the ReCombiners can be set to automatically disconnect the un-grounded conductors as soon as a single-sided ground fault is detected. This eliminates the possibility of a "double ground fault" fire and provides a true GFI solution for PV systems.

In addition to the new functionality, the new ReCombiners are more compact and economical to manufacture than previous designs, thereby resulting in lower equipment costs for SolarBOS' customers. The new ReCombiners can be found on the company's website at http://www.solarbos.com/products.php.

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer

HPS EnduraCoil is a high-performance cast resin transformer designed for many demanding and diverse applications while minimizing both installation and maintenance costs. Coils are formed with mineral-filled epoxy, reinforced with fiberglass and cast to provide complete void-free resin impregnation throughout the entire insulation system. HPS EnduraCoil complies with the new NRCan 2019 and DOE 2016 efficiency regulations and is approved by both UL and CSA standards. It is also seismic qualified per IBC 2012/ASCE 7-10/CBC 2013. Cast resin transformers are self-extinguishing in the unlikely event of fire, environmentally friendly and offer greater resistance to short circuits. HPS also offers wide range of accessories for transformer protection and monitoring requirements.
