2 Product Overview

2.1 Description

FR-DCBS-AFC4C is solar AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter), which is mainly

used in small sizes of distributed PV system.

Functions

Its main function is to detect the arc fault of the PV

strings and make the string cables in the state of no

current when the arc fault occurs. In addition, users can

remotely monitor the state of the product by the mobile

phone APP, such as arc alarm, relay contact, current, etc.

Features

1-4 PV strings each box supports

Arc fault detecting of each PV string

Fonrich IP technology to self-adapt with different inverters

UL 1699B 2018 conformity

The protection arc sensitivity is adjustable

WiFi internet connection, email alarm notification

Application

FR-DCBS-AFC4C is mainly used in small sizes of distributed PV system, such

as <10KW residential solar system. The system consists of PV strings, arc fault

protection box, inverter and grid, as shown in the figure below.

Typical Application of

AFC4C
