1 HelioProtection Program SOLUTIONS guide Photovoltaic Solutions (ISSUE 8) Ferraz Shawmut is Mersen

2 THE COMMITMENT OF MERSEN IN SAFER AND MORE RELIABLE SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC INSTALLATIONS In the solar market more especially, Mersen is a driving force in the development of safer and more reliable solar photovoltaic installations. To participate in implementing such installations, Mersen has developed a special program of solutions branded HelioProtection. HelioProtection program is a mix of: d edication all the solutions have been applications. Innovation the solutions in this program are all on the technological edge. e xpertise this program is supported in the marketplace by a team of Mersen s experts for helping the customer to select and apply the proper solution. HelioProtection is a brand of Mersen, the new name of Ferraz Shawmut. 2

3 GOING EVEN FURTHER TOGETHER To support all those we work with - developers, designers, engineering consultants, purchasers, quality managers, and listing agencies - in their efforts to specify, design, build, test and run solar power systems, Mersen has invested in the necessary resources: complex and arduous projects and get involved in co-design or co-development initiatives; a technical support department with attentive engineering staff listening to other professionals and helping them match protection components or solutions to their equipment; a hotline at Two labs dedicated to quality The proof of that quest for continual improvement: a total of more than a million tests in 25 years! Mersen has two test labs: one in Newburyport, Massachusetts, and one in Saint Bonnet de Mure in France. The two are complementary, in terms of the available resources, to be able to offer the widest possible range of a.c. and d.c. tests to UL-CSA and IeC standards. Mersen welcomes customers at both locations to run test campaigns focused on critical points in their own bills of requirements. An innovative PV installation for product test and validation with a total power of 35KW and an exclusive 6 strings of 24 PV modules or 12 strings of 12 PV modules. Newburyport: a specialized d.c. lab - obviously an asset in designing fuses for photovoltaic applications; a low power test lab; fusion tests at 0 to 6000A constant current; simulations of equipment starting up and stopping from 0 to 3000A; a low voltage test bench for surge protective devices; temperature tests, etc. Saint-Bonnet-de-Mure: temperature rise and strength tests on test benches with extra low voltage power supply; short circuit withstand tests (400MVA generator); d.c. tests with large time constants; dielectric tests at industrial frequencies; faraday cage impulse voltage tests; oven climate tests from -45 C to +150 C, plus salt mist; mechanical tests, pressure, vibration, acceleration - and more.
