THE SUN PROVIDES YOUR ENERGY, SANTON PROVIDES YOUR SAFETY

1. GAIN VALUABLE TIME IN CASE OF A FIRE

The DFS/PFS works according to standard
international firefighter routines,
resulting in valuable time when AC power
is shut down, the DFS/PFS 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 100˚C inside the DFS/PFS unit
it will automatically shut
down the DC power as extra safety
system.

2. COMPLETELY ISOLATE PV MODULES

The DFS/PFS 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.

3. AUTO RESET

A power down situation can occur at any
time and for many reasons. The
DFS/PFS has an auto reset function. The
DFS/PFS automatically switches
off if the regular AC power is down for more
than 0,5 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.

4. 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.

5. CONTAINS THE WORLD’S MOST POPULAR DC SWITCH

The DFS/PFS 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.
