  • Publication number: 20170264212
    Abstract: Verifying system and method for verifying the disconnecting means of a DC/AC converter which are connected in series through a midpoint in each phase between the converter and a power grid. The system comprises voltage detectors and a control unit in communication with said detectors and configured for determining the status of the disconnecting means depending on said voltages. The detectors comprise a detector associated with each phase for measuring the voltages between the corresponding midpoint and the neutral of the power grid, and an additional detector for measuring the voltage between said neutral and a reference point of the converter.

  • Patent number: 7969700
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a structure for the electrical protection of photovoltaic facilities in the event a photovoltaic generator (G1-Gp) is connected with its polarity reversed, for what it includes a protection cell that comprises two connection points (1, 2) at which the photovoltaic generator is connected (G1-Gp), at least one device (D) in charge of reducing the voltage of the photovoltaic generator (G1-Gp) in the event of polarity reversion, which is connected in parallel between the aforementioned two connection points, at least one element (M) of breakage and/or protection of the photovoltaic generator (G1-Gp) serially connected to the preceding elements, minimizing the loading on the aforementioned break and/or protection elements.
