Viridian ArcBox Connector Enclosure

Viridian ArcBox Connector Enclosure is a solar connector enclosure designed to enhance fire safety in solar photovoltaic (PV) installations. By securely enclosing DC connectors, the ArcBox ensures that any electrical arcs are safely contained, preventing the spread to combustible materials. The ArcBox enclosure simply snaps around a DC connector to ensure that if an arc ever occurs it is safely contained and doesn’t spread to combustible materials in or around the solar installation. The effectiveness of the product has been independently verified by the KIWA fire test laboratory, Loughborough University and and the Slovenian National Building and Civil Engineering Institute (ZAG). Electric arcing is very energetic and results in incredibly high temperatures - far in excess of the melting temperature of metals. Painstaking research by engineers at Viridian Solar has resulted in the development of new manufacturing technologies that can form the complex shapes required for ArcBox from materials found in crucibles and furnaces and previously available only as simple bricks or blocks. With its patented design, the two hinged halves of the ArcBox snap together to completely enclose the DC connector within this high-temperature material while suspending it in free air between cable sealing grommets at each end. Ventilation and drainage ports keep the connector within its operating temperature limits while carrying its rated current and prevent the accumulation of moisture around the connector.
