  • Publication number: 20230396057
    Abstract: This application discloses a photovoltaic system, a direct-current combiner box, and a fault isolation method. The photovoltaic system includes a fault isolation circuit and a DC/DC conversion circuit. A first end of the fault isolation circuit is connected to N photovoltaic strings, and a second end of the fault isolation circuit is connected to an input end of the DC/DC conversion circuit. The fault isolation circuit includes a multipole switch, and each group of photovoltaic strings in the N photovoltaic strings is connected to an input end of a power conversion circuit through one pole of switch in the multipole switch. Each group of photovoltaic strings includes at least two photovoltaic strings. When a reverse connection fault occurs in the N photovoltaic strings, the entire multipole switch is turned off in linkage.

  • Publication number: 20220158443
    Abstract: A fault isolation apparatus includes a controller and a circuit breaker. When the circuit breaker is located on a bus connected to a DC/DC conversion unit, if a voltage collected by a first voltage collection terminal is a negative value, it indicates that input or output of the DC/DC conversion unit is reversely connected. In this case, if the circuit breaker is controlled to be opened, the DC/DC conversion unit can be prevented from being connected in series to other parallel DC/DC conversion units. If a voltage collected by a first voltage collection terminal is low and a current collected by a current collection terminal is large, it indicates that the DC/DC conversion unit is short-circuited. In this case, if the circuit breaker is controlled to be opened, another component connected in series to the DC/DC conversion unit can also be prevented from backfeeding energy to the DC/DC conversion unit.
