Socomec Field Junction Box is designed to make the connection of groups of strings (photovoltaic panels) to an inverter in photovoltaic applications.
Basic functions :
• Connection and combination of the photovoltaic strings
• Switching OFF and disconnection of the DC voltage of the installation
• Protection against the over-currents of all the polarities
• Fault signalling on the PV string (fuse indicator).
• Protection against atmospheric over-voltage
Optional functions
• Remote control switching OFF and disconnection.
• Canopy against solar radiations
1.2. GENERAL SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
• Always read this instructions manual before commissioning the equipment.
The DC voltage upstream fuse-disconnectors is never disconnected even the position of the switching products.
The DC voltage level is dangerous. Any contact can cause an electrocution or an electric shock.
• The devices shall be accessible to authorized personnel only.
• Unauthorized opening of the device or improper interventions can lead to personnel severe injury, death or material damage.
• Repairs on the boards must be carried out only by the manufacturer or by personnel authorized by the manufacturer.
• Any repair works must only be carried out by qualified personnel.
• Any repair works must only be car
• Original spare parts are available through SOCOMEC customer assistance service.
• Check protective devices regularly, following the indications in the chapter Electrical installation, operation and maintenance.
• Use only fuses of the correct dimensions. The rated current of the fuses must be calculated according to each plant specifications.
• The Socomec Field Junction Box must be used in accordance with the documentation as well as applicable directives and standards.
• The Socomec Field Junction Box must be handled with care, and protected against mechanical stresses.
• Do not bend any components.
• Do not change the isolating distances.
• Do not touch electronic components or contacts.
• The Socomec Field Junction Box contains components that are sensitive to electrostatic charges and may be damaged if handled
improperly.
• Any use of damaged or spoiled components shall be considered as a non-compliance with the applicable standard.
It is forbidden to make any modification to the Field Junction Box without the prior
ried out using original spare parts.
agreement of Socomec.
1.3. PERSONNEL QUALIFICATION
Personnel must be familiar with the installation, assembly, commissioning and operation of the device and know the possible sources
of danger and must have the required qualification to perform maintenance and commissioning.
This qualification must include:
• Mechanical installation of the device: Trained installation technician with basic electrical skills
• Electrical installation of the device: Trained electricians

3. INSTALLATION
3.1. ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
The following points must be considered for installation:
• The Field Junction Box is designed for both indoor and outdoor use.
• The Field Junction Box is exclusively designed for vertical fitting.
• Ensure a good flatness of foothold of the box fixations.
• If the wall is not flat, we recommend to use rigid profiles to fix the SOCOMEC Field Junction Box and to use wedges.
• The supports on which the Field Junction Box is fitted must be of non inflammable material. There must be no inflammable material
in the vicinity. If the device is fitted indoors, it is advisable to install a smoke detector.
• Ensure protection against wind, moisture, snow load and the direct exposure to sun radiation. (Special accessories may be
proposed by Socomec).
3.2. TRANSPORT – INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING

4.5. INSTALLING THE FUSES
• Use only gPV fuses certifi ed for photovoltaic applications.
• Type de fuses: PV 10 x 38 gPV 1000V (compliance with IEC
60269-6)
• ISC STC max/string: 10 A
• PV module peak power current IMPP/string: 9 A
The rated current of the fuses must be calculated for each plant
•
separately (See maximum rated current ISC STC and Impp
STC values per string in the Technical Characteristics chapter).
• The fuse-holder terminals where the strings cables are
connected are always live even if the fuse holder is open.
• Before inserting the fuses of the strings, check the correct polarity of the inputs and check if there is no earth fault.
• Install/remove the fuses only after having disconnected the load (by opening the DC switch-disconnector) and using the appropriate personal protective equipment.
