Why Are Socomec Solutions Essential for Alternative Energy Projects?
As the world moves toward cleaner, more efficient power, dependable electrical infrastructure is essential. EB Horsman is proud to carry Socomec products that support this transition with reliable, high-performance solutions for alternative and clean energy applications. From hydrogen production and renewable gas to wastewater treatment, Socomec delivers the precision, control, and safety needed to keep energy systems running efficiently.
High-Performance DC Disconnects for Photovoltaic Systems
The Socomec INOSYS disconnect switches are designed for safe, reliable isolation of DC, photovoltaic (PV), and energy storage system (ESS) circuits. These multi-pole, manually operated switches can make and break under load, providing dependable protection and control for low-voltage circuits up to 1500 VDC, with models available up to 2000 VDC.
Engineered for long-term reliability, the Socomec INOSYS offers:
- High-performance DC switching in a compact design
- Safe, consistent operation in extreme temperatures (-40 °C to +50 °C, no derating up to 55 °C)
- Durability in harsh environments, tested for vibration, shock, humidity, and salt-mist exposure
- Flexible installation options, supporting single or dual polarity switching and both floating and bipolar circuits.
Compact Circuit Protection with Socomec RM CC
In alternative and clean energy systems, the Socomec RM CC modular fuse holder provides dependable overcurrent protection for control and monitoring circuits. While disconnect switches protect the main DC side of solar or storage systems, the RM CC safeguards the secondary electrical circuits that power sensors, relays, and communication devices. Its compact, DIN-rail design allows for easy integration within control panels, switchboards, and distribution cabinets, ensuring reliable circuit isolation and safety throughout solar, energy storage, and other renewable installations.
