Combi-Swilch Manual Introduction Introduction SMA America's Combi-Switches integrate PV series string fuses into a standard heavy-duty DC disconnect switch. Combi-Switch features include: • Visible blade, lockable DC disconnect switch • Four 1OA, 600 VDC Fuses (included) • NEMA 3R enclosure • Pre-punched knockouts Unpacking and Inspection All SMA Combi-Switches are thoroughly checked before they are packaged and shipped. Although they are shipped in sturdy packaging, damage can still occur during shipping and delivery. It is important to carefully inspect the shipping container and contents prior to installation. If you detect any external damage after unpacking, report the damage immediately to your SMA dealer and shipping company that delivered the unit. If it becomes necessary to return the Combi-Switch, use the original packing material. If you need assistance in dealing with a damaged unit, contact SMA America @ 530.273.4895 DC Disconnect Switch The Combi-Switch is listed to UL 1741 as a PV disconnect switch and combiner box. A lock may be installed through the hasp in the switch handle/switch body. The switch can be used to isolate the inverter from the PV array. Installation Combi-Switch Manual Installationmsraircmon Refer to Figure 1 -1 for enclosure dimensions. Use appropriate hardware for the mounting surface. The weight of the unit is shown in the specification list. Wiring ft^\I^ NOTE: SMA recommends that wire entry be made from the bottom of the §1^53^ enclosure, at the prepunched knockout locations. Wiring Configuration The SBCD can be configured for either positive or negatively grounded PV arrays. The ungrounded conductor is wired through the hot (fused) input and hot output. The grounded conductor is wired through the neutral input and output terminal blocks. Refer to Figure 1 -2 for the input and output wiring locations of the Combi-Switch. Input Wiring Negative Ground PV positive conductors are wired into the fuse holder terminals marked "PV Hot Inputs". PV negative conductors are wired into the terminal block to the left of the fuse holders marked "PV Neutral Input". Positive Ground PV negative conductors are wired into the fuse holder terminals marked "PV Hot Inputs". PV positive conductors are wired into the terminal block to the left of the fuse holders marked "PV Neutral Input". Equipment Ground All PV safety ground conductors are wired into the ground bus located at the bottom of the Combi-Switch enclosure and marked with a ground symbol. Output Wiring The output wiring terminal blocks marked "PV Hot Output" and "PV Neutral Output" are rated for 8 to 4 AWG wire sizes. The size of the output conductors should be made in accordance with NEC Article 310. Conductor size should be compensated for temperature and voltage drop considerations. Be sure to use wire with insulation properly rated for the installation environment. Combi-Switch Manual Wiring 15" 6.625" 1.125" J Figure 1-1 Combi-Switch Schematic and Layout Wiring Combi-Switch Manual Fuse Sizing In any electrical system, fuses are used to protect wiring and equipment from excessive currents that can cause damage, heating or in extreme cases even fire. If the fuse rating is too small it could open during normal operation. If the fuse rating is too large, it cannot provide the needed protection. In PV systems, the minimum and maximum size of the series fuse is determined by the electrical ratings of the PV module as well as by UL and National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements. Be sure to consult with your PV module manufacturer for appropriate fuse ratings. The minimum size of fuses and wiring are calculated using the Short Circuit Current Rating (Isc) of the PV module. The NEC requires that all fuses and wiring be sized for a minimum of 1.56 times the Isc of the PV module used in the system. The proper size PV string fuse is determined by calculating 1.56 x Isc (of the PV module) and then rounding up to the next standard fuse size. Example: If the Isc of the PV module equals 6.9 Adc, then the fuse size is determined by 1.56 x 6.9 = 10.76. The next standard fuse size would be a 12A, 600Vdc fuse. DC Disconnect Requirements NEC 690.15-18 allows the use of fuse holders as a suitable means of disconnecting PV arrays for servicing. Additional DC disconnects external to the inverter may be required by the local authority having jurisdiction. WARNING: Never open a fuse holder while it is under load. Electrical arcing and damage to the fuse holder will occur if a fuse holder is opened under load. PV String Fuses The Combi-Switch is shipped with 1OA, 600Vdc fuses in the fuse holders. Other fuse sizes are available from SMA America. Be sure to specify alternate fuse sizes when ordering the Combi- Switch from you distributor.

Procedure to Select Rail Span and Rail Type [2.1.] Using Standard Beam Calculations, Structural Engineering Methodology The procedure to determine the Unirac SolarMount series rail type and rail span uses standard beam calculations and structural engineering methodology. The beam calculations are based on a simply supported beam conservatively, ignoring the reductions allowed for supports of continuous beams over multiple supports. Please refer to Part I for more information on beam calculations, equations and assumptions. In using this document, obtaining correct results is dependent upon the following: 1. Obtain the Snow Load for your area from your local building official. 2. Obtain the Design Wind Load, pmc. See Part I (Procedure to Determine the Design Wind Load) for more infbrnntion on calculating the Design Wind Load. 3. Please Note: The-terms rail span and footing spacing are interchaiigeable'in this document. See Figure 3 for illustrations. 4. To use Tafcle g aad Table 9 the Dead Load for your specific installation tixt bs less than 5 psf, including modules and Unirac racking sj^tems. If the Dead Load is greater than 5 psf, see your Unirac distributor, a local structural engineer or contact Unirac.

Rail span and footing spacing art. interchangeable. Step 1: Determine the Total Design Load The Total Design Load, P (psf) is determined using ASCE 7-05 2.4.1 (ASD Method equations 3,5,6 and 7) by adding the Snow Load1, S (psf), Design WindLoad, pmt (psf) from Part I, Step- 9 and the Dead Load (psf). Both Uplift and Downforce Wind Loads calculated in Step 9 of Part 2 must be investigated. Use Table 7 to calculate the Total Design Load for the load cases. Use the maximum absolute value of the three downfbrce cases and the uplift case for sizing the rail. Use the uplift case only for sizing lag bolts pull out capacities (Part U, Step 6). P (psf) = 1.0D + LOS1 (downforce case 1) P (psf) = l.OD + l.Opnet (downforce case 2) P (psf) = l.OD + 0.75S1 + 0.75pna (downforce case 3) P (psf) = 0.6D + LOpna (uplift) D = Dead Load (psf) S = Snow Load (psf) Pnet = Design WindLoad (psf) (Positive for downfbrce, negative for uplift) The maximum Dead Load, D (psf), is 5 psf based on market research and internal data. 1 Snow Load Reduction - The snow load can be reduced according to Chapter 7 of ASCE 7-05. The reduction is a function of the roof slope, Exposure Factor, Importance Factor and Thermal Factor. Please refer to Chapter 7 of ASCE 7-05for more information. 10 Note: Modules must be centered symmetrically on the rails (+/- 2*), as shown in Figure 3. If this is not the case, call Unirac for assistance. ••UNI R AC Unirac Code-Compliant Installation Manual SolarMount Part III.
