Fire Safety Switch FoxESS S-BOX Plus 4 Strings 1500 V DC IP66

The FoxESS S-BOX Plus is the extended version of the FoxESS fire safety isolator switch and manages 4 PV strings. It is installed outdoors, as close as possible to the PV array, in order to interrupt the DC voltage upstream of the cables that enter the building: in the event of a fire or of intervention by firefighters the DC conductors inside the building remain de-energised, a condition that fire regulations require on many systems.

Inside, the device uses a motor-operated DC isolator switch supplied at 230 V AC. The circuits open automatically when the AC supply fails — for example when the fire emergency button or the main breaker of the building is operated — and, as an additional safety measure, when the internal temperature exceeds 70 °C. The IP66 enclosure allows outdoor mounting, while the RS485 interface makes it possible to report the status of the isolator to the monitoring system. The unit is CE, TÜV, CB, SAA and UL certified.

Key features

Four strings managedFour pairs of DC inputs and outputs: a single box covers inverters with several MPPT or PV arrays split into four strings.
Automatic tripping with the AC mainsThe loss of the 230 V AC supply, caused by the fire emergency button or by the main breaker, immediately opens the DC circuits.
Integrated thermal protectionAbove 70 °C internally the isolator opens by itself, even if the AC supply is still present.
Up to 1500 V DC and 25 A per stringOperating range from 300 to 1500 V DC with 25 A per string, suitable for residential and commercial systems.
IP66 outdoor enclosureIP66 rating and temperature range from −20 °C to +50 °C for installation on the roof or on a wall next to the modules.
International certificationsProduct certified CE, TÜV, CB, SAA and UL, compliant with the EN 60947-1 and EN 60947-3 standards for isolator switches.
