What is the aims power solar array combination box?

The AIMS Power Solar Array Combiner Box provides a convenient solution for large PV solar array installations. The Combiner Box is exactly that a box that serves as a central location for multiple input to a single output load.

How do you connect a solar inverter to a combiner box?

Open the combiner box cover. Install conduits, as required by local regulations. Maximum supported conduit diameter - 32 mm. Connect the DC cables from the combiner box to the inverter. Connect DC cables from PV strings and batteries (if installed) to the terminal blocks, as shown below. symbol.

What is a solar combiner box?

It is ideal for larger solar arrays/high current systems, easing the hassle of dealing with several wires and combines all wires into one place for simple installation and maintenance. The combiner box eliminates the need for extra equipment such as output breakers and disconnect switches.

How do I connect a PV breaker to a combiner box?

PV output breaker must be in the OFF position before making any connections to combiner box. Connect earth ground before any other connection Make sure all output connections are properly fastened to the combiner box and device. PV input connection should be made last.

What should I know before installing a solar combiner box?

Don't install the box where it is accessible to children. Properly maintain all equipment in your solar system. Check all wiring, batteries, inverters and charge controllers. Do not install combiner box alone. Ensure someone is within close range when working with any type of electrical equipment.

Which conductors can be paralleled in a solarbos combiner box?

NEC Article 310.4 allows paralleling of conductors greater than AWG 1/0 to achieve higher ampacities. Most SolarBOS combiner boxes provide output terminals for paralleling two conductors for the PV positive and negative, as well as the equipment ground conductors. Refer to Figure 2 and Table 2 for the output wiring locations.
