The Intelligent Field Terminal (iFT)
With the use of central inverters it's very important to combine the available DC-strings to few collective DC-conductors. Our iFT can monitor both the currents and the fuses of the single string. Data transmission as well as power supply is provided by the available DC-strings.
Overview:
- Generator terminal box with 125 A fuses
- Load breaker available
- Load breaker also available as line safety switch
- Double output terminals for series connection of additional terminal boxes, connector up to 185 mm²,
- maximum current on connector 232 A.
- Connection of 16 strings via spring-type terminal up to a profile of 6 mm² (differing profiles available on request) Quick overview on fault provided by LEDs for every single fuse locally
- Every component is certified for 1,000 V-DC or more and guarantee a high durability.
- Case in V2A, powder-coated, or in Polysafe for an announced durability of 20 years.
- IP 54 Standard for optimal climate inside of the iFT-casing
- All components protected from indirect contact „Back-off-hand-proof“ according toBGV A2 VBG4
- Allows use of varying fuses for the phase fuses from 2 A to 25 A for optimal fuse protection
- Expandable for optional notifications like „breaker state on/off“, „lightning arrestor triggered“
- Customizable for particular climates by refitting of fan units or heaters
Intelligent Automation Terminal Box
With the use of central inverters it's very important to combine the available DC-strings to few collective DC-conductors. Our iAT decouples, processes and records all information regarding the states of the DC-fuses and DC-currents. The iAT is normally installed close to the central inverters where the information processed by the iAT is provided to the iMT.
Overview:
- Casing V2A powder-coated or in Polysafe for an announced
- durability of 20 yearsIP 54 Standard for optimal climate inside of the iFT-casing
- 230 V-AC / 24 V-DC power supply
- Two fuses for DC-generator-connections
- DC-powerline-coupler for 1,000 V-DC
- Router (powerline to twisted pair)
- iGATE datalogger and alarm-handler
- TCP/IP also possible via glass-fibre optics
- FTT10A connection to the iMT
- Connection of up to 10 iFTs to a single iAT
- Controlling of up to 1 MWp per iAT
Das IAT come in three different versions:
The Intelligent Management Terminal (iMT)
With the use of central inverters it's very important to combine the available DC-strings to few collective DC-conductors.Our iMT is the central hub for all iATs in a system – here, all the information is gathered. We provide several variations of the iMT. The simplest version uses a control-terminal as display for visualizations.
Overview:
- 230 V-AC power supply (0,5 A) / 24V-DC-DC String current indicator
- DC open fuse display
- >DC (iFT) current comparison
- Alarm- and failure display with acknowledgement
- Connectability options: TCP/IP, fibre-optics or FTT10A LonWorks
- Possibility of connection to external gateways
- Possibility of connection to an internet portal
The IMT comes in three different versions:
