New AC plug connectors for photovoltaic systems

Phoenix Contact is expanding its product portfolio of AC plug connectors for photovoltaic systems. The new three- and five-pole PRC series connects AC cables to inverters reliably and conveniently.

While the device plug connectors with crimp connections are delivered already pre-assembled with pre-connected wires, the rigid and flexible plug connector cables are connected using proven screw connections. The three-pole version is designed for currents up to 35 A, and the five-pole version handles up to 30 A. Both versions are approved for voltages up to 600 V and fulfil the high requirements of the IP68 protection class.

The plug connector locks automatically during insertion. To safeguard against unintentional disconnection, a tool is required to disconnect the plug connector from the device connector. The plug can also be protected using a safety seal. Phoenix Contact is expanding its PV plug connector product portfolio with these AC plug connectors specifically for inverter connections

Function block libraries for photovoltaics

The function block libraries for the PC Worx programming software from Phoenix Contact now offer more opportunities for solar engineering: The user saves engineering time, with pre-assembled function blocks from Solar Basic V1.30 and Solar Advanced V1.30. Typical tasks associated with PV systems can thereby be easily and quickly programmed and potential sources of error can be avoided.
