HELIOS H4 FULL ACCORDING NEC 2008 Although the electrical connectors attached to the ends of the module cables are finger safe when new, if they are opened under load, the dc arc may damage the insulation and the connectors may then pose a shock hazard. Therefore, there are new requirements in 690.33 for locking connectors in the 2008 NEC. A tool will be required to open these locking connectors. They will also soon be appearing on most, if not all, PV modules, although they are only required when the PV array wiring is operating above 30 volts and is readily accessible (690.33). Amphenol Helios H4 is designed to meet NEC 2008 standards without requiring additional locking mechanism. Benefits are: Lower overall cost design to comply with the new NEC codes Connector can be repeatedly mated and unmated without destroying the locking feature. Simple unlocking tool provided with every 10 connectors Intermateble with the industry standard connector Ratcheting cable seal caps to prevent inadvertent opening AMPHENOL, NO EXTRA ACCESSORIES TYCO EXTRA LOCKING COLAR MC4 EXTRA LOCKING SLEEVE 2
HELIOS H4 CONTACT TECHNOLOGY H4 uses a newly designed Radsok grid machined contact that has superior electrical performance as compared to the competition. Benefits: Self cleaning grid Extremely low temperature rise Simple unlocking tool provided with every 250 connectors Lowest voltage drop and les than 0,25mOhm contact resistance Rated to 52A and tested up to 90A Delivers the most power from the module 3
