Viridian ArcBox

Description

The Viridian ArcBox prevents potential fires from occurring in the home by enclosing the connection between MC4s. This means, should an arc occur, it is separated from combustible surface in the home increasing the Safety of a PV system.

Features

MC4 connections are extremely common in PV systems and when making your own MC4 connections simple errors that can lead to arcing can occur such as

• Poorly crimped joints.
• Cross-mating connectors from different manufacturers.
• Assembling electrodes while wet.
• Incomplete insertion that doesn't engage the connector locking mechanism.
• When ArcBox Should Be Prioritized;
• On-Site Crimped Connectors: The most critical, highest-risk joints are the ones manually crimped by installers, typically two per string.
• When ArcBox is Less Necessary;
• Factory-Made Connections: The connectors that come attached directly to the solar panels by the manufacturer are generally considered lower risk.
• The Viridian ArcBox easily connects around MC4 connections and is independently verified by the KIWA fire test laboratory and Loughborough University to ensure that it can prevent fires from occurring from these easily made errors.
• Safety is an extremely important aspect in the Solar industry and by offering homeowners the peace of mind that their home is protected from an unexpected accident this adds another benefit to your installs.
