4 FAQs about Photovoltaic junction box beam drawings

Can a PV junction box be used with multiple rated currents?

If the PV junction box is intended to be used with several types and/or combinations of bypass diode and/ or with several rated currents of the PV junction box, the tests must be performed in all possible combinations with the relevant number of specimens. Another consideration is whether or not the PV junction box is potted.

How to test a PV junction box?

To check if the PV junction box is suitable to be mounted or operated at lower temperatures, a cold impact test has to be performed. After storing the PV junction box for a minimum of 5 hours in a test chamber having a temperature of –40°C, four impacts, each having an energy of 1J, will be administered to the box in different positions.

Can dust enter a PV junction box?

No dust must enter the PV junction box for numeral 6. For numeral 5, however, a small amount of dust entering the PV junction box is allowed, but it must be ensured that the dust does not decrease creepage distances or come into contact with live parts. For the second numeral, a water test, depending on the degree of protection, must be performed.

Can water enter a PV junction box?

No water must enter the PV junction box. This requirement will be checked by the r.m.s. withstand voltage test using a voltage of 2000V + 4 × rated voltage, applied between a metal foil covering the enclosure and the connected cables of both polarities. After the IP test, a wet leakage current test has to be performed.
