“...the best

protection

solutions for

your solar powerinvestment.”

Ferraz Shawmut is a global leader with more than 100

 years experience in circuit protection. We offer a dedicated

range of circuit protection solutions for solar power generation and distribution systems.

Drawing on a century of experience - and an ongoing commitment to criticalresearch in electrical safety in both traditional and emerging markets - we

provide solar power designers, engineering specifers, solar power 

installers and solar power equipment manufacturers with innovative

circuit protection products and unbeatable technical support.

 A wide range of circuit protection solutions for solar

power generation and distribution

Generating electricity from solar energy is an extremely reliable process

– as long as it’s properly protected! Ferraz Shawmut offers a trusted

range of circuit protection solutions that will help protect your solar

power investment. Any installation, whether it’s a stand-alone solar

array with a back-up generator set or a grid-connected system,

is vulnerable to fault currents or lightning. Today, fuses and surge

protective devices are the most effective ways of protecting the

wiring and electrical equipment in a Photovoltaic (PV) system. Fuses

protect the cables between strings of modules from overcurrent

damage. The faulty circuits are isolated allowing the system to continue

generating power. But that protection must be designed, dimensioned,

tested and adapted to the specific features of solar applications. At Ferraz

Shawmut, we offer a dedicated range of protection components specially designed

for solar power generation and distribution including, fuses, fuse holders, combiner boxes, and

surge protective devices. For solar power circuit protection solutions you can rely on, contact Ferraz

Shawmut at [email protected] or 978.462.6662.
