Product Features of 12 String Solar Combiner Box

This 12 string solar combiner box integrates the short-circuit and over-voltage protection that a 1000V DC photovoltaic system needs, which also simplifies wiring between the strings, the DC distribution cabinet, and the inverter:

  • Twelve string inputs, one output: combines 12 photovoltaic strings into a single DC output.
  • Complete protection: a 40kA, 2P, 1000VDC surge protector (EKU5-T2-40PV-2M1000) guards against over-voltage, and 24 fuses (15A, 1000VDC) protect against short circuits.
  • Fused positive and negative: each string is protected by two EKF1-10XPVH-10-1P fuses.
  • Main switch: EKM7DC-250M/2 (2P, 250A, 1000VDC) for isolating the combined output.
  • IP65 metal enclosure: 750×560×180mm; the shell material can be customized.
  • Optional upgrades: anti-reflection (reverse current) diode and monitoring module.
  • Customizable: configurations can be adapted to special project requirements.

Commercial Applications of 12 String Solar Combiner Box

Designed for photovoltaic power generation systems operating at 1000V DC, the 12 string solar combiner box suits residential, commercial and industrial projects where several module strings must be paralleled before reaching the inverter.

Applications & Use Cases:

  • Residential and small-scale rooftop PV arrays with up to 12 strings.
  • Commercial rooftop and carport solar installations.
  • Industrial and factory photovoltaic power plants.
  • General photovoltaic sites needing centralized string fusing, surge protection, and a main DC disconnect.
  • Systems feeding DC distribution cabinets or inverters, where combining strings reduces cabling.

Dimensions and Wiring of 12 String Solar Combiner Box

The 12 string solar combiner box is housed in a 750×560×180mm IP65 metal enclosure. In the wiring diagram, strings 1~5 and 6~12 connect through fuse groups on the negative (FU1~5-, FU6~12-) and positive (FU1~5+, FU6~12+) sides. The combined output leaves via the main switch at OUT- and OUT+, and the SPD is grounded to PE.

Dimensions and Wiring of 12 String Solar Combiner Box

  • Overall dimensions: 750 × 560 × 180 mm (as listed by the manufacturer).
  • Inputs: FU1~5 and FU6~12, negative and positive.
  • Outputs: OUT- / OUT+ through the 250A main switch.
  • Earthing: PE terminal connected to the SPD.
