The FEED offers an integrated solution for enhanced protection and safety in PV and battery energy systems along with greater field wiring and installation flexibility across a variety of high power, high voltage DC:DC conversion applications
Hatboro, PA – Alencon Systems LLC has launched a new installation option for its BOSS and SPOT lines of galvanically isolated DC:DC converters – the FEED. The FEED – which stands for fused electrical disconnect – is an integrated unit installed with a SPOT or BOSS device in the factory. The FEED allows for a variety of interconnection and fusing options for Alencon’s DC:DC products. The FEED offers end users supreme flexibility in deploying Alencon’s products. The FEED allows the user to specify the type of terminations on both the input and output of the device, including either screw terminals or PV connectors, appropriately rated disconnects and fuses as well as ground fault indication and fusing. The FEED has been specifically designed to simplify the deployment of Alencon devices across a broad variety of applications including repowering aged PV systems, DC coupling solar plus storage, EV charging and integration with fuel cells, among others.
“The rapid expansion of DC sources and loads such as solar, battery energy storage, electric vehicles and fuel cells, among others, is creating a real paradigm in power conversion. For the first time in the history power conversion the electrification sector is demanding flexible, safe, reliable and scalable high power, high voltage DC:DC power conversion solutions, not just DC:AC, AC: DC or AC:AC,” states Alencon Systems President Hanan Fishman.
