Why are fire safety switches necessary in solar systems?

Fire safety switches play a critical role in solar system safety. In case of a fire, rapid disconnection helps prevent further damage such as electric shocks and reduces the chance of the fire spreading. Without these devices, solar systems pose a higher risk to buildings and their occupants.

When is a fire emergency disconnect mandatory in solar installations?

The requirement for a fire emergency disconnect depends mainly on the length of the DC cabling and the specific regulations of the country. In Hungary, it is mandatory if the DC wiring between the inverter and panels exceeds 5 meters. It's important to follow current fire safety regulations and standards.

Regulations may vary internationally. For example, in Austria, the use of such devices may be prohibited in certain cases.

How does a solar fire safety switch work?

A fire safety switch in a solar system is an automatic mechanism that detects fire incidents and instantly isolates the circuit to prevent further electric shocks, short circuits, or the spread of fire. The switch reacts extremely quickly, shutting down the entire system and ensuring complete safety.

Where should the fire safety switch be installed?

Ideally, the fire safety switch should be installed next to the solar panels, as far from the inverter as possible. The goal is to enable fast and effective disconnection of all circuits in case of emergency. Proper installation ensures the switch activates in any emergency situation.

What types of fire emergency disconnects are available?

Fire emergency disconnects (also known as fire safety switches) are primarily categorized by the number of solar strings they isolate on the DC side. The most common models are suitable for 2, 3, 4, 5, or even 10-string systems..
