What is EARU and what solutions does it provide for photovoltaics?
EARU is a brand of electrical equipment focused on circuit protection in photovoltaic installations. Its range of MCB automatic switches for 1000 V DC with 2 poles allows for disconnection and protection of panel strings and battery lines, integrating into electrical panels via DIN rail. It is a practical option for residential and commercial projects seeking reliability, availability of ratings, and a good cost-performance ratio.
Advantages
- Specifically designed for direct current up to 1000 V DC (2P: simultaneous disconnection).
- Common ratings: 20 A, 25 A, 32 A, 40 A, 50 A, and 63 A for strings and batteries.
- Modular DIN rail mounting: quick installation and replacement.
- Compatible with DC protections for surge and disconnection.
- Good availability and contained cost for compact panels.
Applications
- Protection of PV strings in DC structures.
- Disconnection of battery lines in 48 V systems and LV banks.
- Field panels and main panels for on-grid/off-grid inverters.
- Small commercial installations with multiple MPPT.
How to choose the right DC MCB
- Voltage: confirm that the system does not exceed 1000 V DC at minimum temperature (corrected Voc).
- Rated current: size according to string Isc and manufacturer’s safety factor.
- Number of poles: 2P to disconnect both positive and negative in DC.
- Curve: use a curve suitable for DC according to the model’s technical datasheet.
