WENC PV DC Combiner Box
DC Protection Devices

WENC PV DC Combiner Box

A populated DC combiner box for the string side of a rooftop or ground-mount array — fuses on both polarities, an isolating DC breaker for maintenance, and a 1000V surge protector, in an IP65 enclosure rated for outdoor UV exposure.

WPV-FU Photovoltaic Fuse Link
DC Protection Devices

WPV-FU Photovoltaic Fuse Link

gPV fuse links in the two sizes the PV market actually uses: 10 × 38 for 1000V systems and 10 × 85 for 1500V. Both interrupt in under a millisecond and are rated for the full-range duty a string fuse has to cover.

WPV32 Photovoltaic Fuse Holder
DC Protection Devices

WPV32 Photovoltaic Fuse Holder

DIN-rail holders for the matching PV links, at 1000V and 1500V. The 1000V version carries a blown-fuse indicator, which is what makes a fault findable on an array without pulling every holder.

WPV32-1085 Photovoltaic Fuse Base
DC Protection Devices

WPV32-1085 Photovoltaic Fuse Base

The 1500V half of the fuse pairing: a DIN-rail base for the 10 × 85 cartridge, supplied without the fuse so the rating is chosen against the string. Where the 1000V holder carries a blown-fuse indicator, this one does not, which is worth knowing before it goes into an array that has to be faultfound from the front.

WDCM DC Miniature Circuit Breaker
DC Protection Devices

WDCM DC Miniature Circuit Breaker

Overcurrent and short-circuit protection for the DC side of a PV installation, in one, two and four pole versions. Pole count is what sets the working voltage here — 250V, 500V and 1000V respectively — because the poles are wired in series to share the arc, and a DC arc has no zero crossing to help extinguish it.

WSPV DC Surge Protective Device
DC Protection Devices

WSPV DC Surge Protective Device

Type 1+2 surge protection for the DC side, in two and three pole versions up to 1500V. A PV array is an exposed conductive structure on a roof, so the lightning-current duty here is the Type 1 case rather than the overvoltage-only case.

WRI Enclosed DC Rotary Isolator
DC Protection Devices

WRI Enclosed DC Rotary Isolator

A four-pole DC isolator in its own IP65 thermoplastic enclosure, for mounting at the array where there is no board to put a modular device in. The cover interlocks so it can only be removed with the switch off.
