Powador Argus

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and features of the Powador Argus DC combiner box, designed for connecting large solar fields to central inverters. It emphasizes the box's intelligent monitoring capabilities, which allow for detailed PV generator monitoring and fault detection through a SCADA system.
Specifications: The Powador Argus supports a maximum input voltage of 1,000 V and can accommodate 24 DC inputs. It offers various string current capacities depending on the fuse size, with a maximum output current of 384 A. The auxiliary power supply requires a DC 24 V external power source, and the device consumes 325 mA of power. It includes an RS485 interface and a Type 2 DC surge arrester.
Connections: The box features screw terminals for string connections, bolt terminals for DC connections to the inverter, and spring terminals for RS485 and auxiliary power supply connections. It also includes protective earth terminals and various cable fittings for secure connections.
Mechanical Data: The Powador Argus is housed in an IP65-rated aluminum enclosure, suitable for ambient temperatures ranging from -25 °C to +50 °C and relative humidity levels of 15% to 95%. The dimensions are approximately 800 x 600 x 300 mm, and it weighs around 36 kg.
Additional Features: The box includes double string monitoring for 16 or 24 strings, integrated overvoltage protection, and a DC switch. The design ensures that all cable connections are protected from dirt and moisture, even if installed improperly.

Powador Argus-1

Data sheet Powador Argus Intelligence in a box. The DC combiner box Powador Argus. For connecting large solar fields to our central inverters, we recommend the use of an “intelligent” generator junction box (GJB) – our Powador Argus string monitoring box. With the Argus, the PV generator can be monitored in detail, faults are detected and are directly evaluated using a monitoring / SCADA system. Of course, the string fuse and overvoltage protector are included. Yet another feature: the string current can be read directly in the box. Field use has shown that the dimensions of DC lines can vary greatly due to the long cable lengths in systems with central inverters in the upper power range. Thus, the integrated bolt terminals provide universal connection options for various cable diameters. The communication line is connected using spring terminals. All cable connections are located on the underside of the unit and ensure that neither dirt nor moisture can enter, even if the unit is installed improp
