The latest addition to the Piko from Kostal inverter family has been adapted to the requirements of larger systems while retaining the major benefits of the Piko string inverters. The project inverter with a maximum efficiency of 98.7 percent and optional overvoltage protection for AC, DC and communication, is especially well-suited for large projects. In such cases, the new certified grid and system protection provided by the integrated Piko EPC off switch board means there is no need for expensive circuit breakers.
The Piko 36 EPC is according to Kostal quick to install. With a maximum DC volt-age of 1.100 volts, string lengths with up to 25 modules are possible, enabling power losses and costs to be reduced. The IP 65 housing protection category also allows safe operation both indoors and out. Six DC inputs with Sunclix connectors allow the modules to be connected easily and without any tools. The inputs are also fused with maintenance-free string fuses. The communication board from the current PIKO series is used here too. Two network connections and one RS 485 connection are fitted as standard. (nhp)
