Design Considerations
23
Many Customers successfully mount and electrically terminate the myPV ClearSky
without a vault or pit-pad configuration, however, we recommend that you review the
MV Interface height in relation to grade and consider the MV conductors sizes your
specific installation requires to provide adequate cable management for the MV installer.
Electrical Isolation
While the myPV ClearSky typically eliminates an interconnection’s metering, protective
relay, and fused-cutout poles; a means of electrical isolation from the grid should still be
considered. Establishing a visible air gap between the Grid and an equipment being
inspected serviced is always recommended. Relying only on a Utility recloser for
indirect electrical isolation is not recommended.
Many Customers choose to install a form of electrical isolation at the point to transition
from Utility-overhead to Facility-underground using either of the following:
Disconnect (e.g. air blade)
Fused Cutout
Gang Operated Air Break (GOAB)
Consideration should be given to not only the hardware cost of each type of isolation
device, but also the cost of operation. While a qualified technician with appropriate PPE
may operate a GOAB from ground level, Disconnects and Fused Cutouts (especially
those mounted on taller 35’ poles) may require a MV Bucket Truck to operate safely.
Auxiliary Power
The myPV ClearSky DOES NOT REQUIRE any external axially power for control or
communications functions. Equipped with a dedicated 120V, 20A fused control power
potential transformer (PT), the myPV ClearSky is self-powered. The control power PT is
tapped to the Utility side MV bus, and will remain powered even when the internal MV
VFI breaker is OPEN, ensuring the ClearSky never looses power while the grid is
present.
The control power PT 120V output is routed through a dedicated breaker in the control
panel and delivers service power to a regulated 24V power supply.
