MASTER RECOMBINER BOX WITH WIRELESS MONITORING CAPABILITY

摘要

A master recombiner box system includes a plurality of input bus bars that receive power from a corresponding combiner box in a solar field. Each input bus bar is coupled with a current transducer, thereby measuring the current of the associated combiner box. Power feeding into the plurality of input bus bars is combined at a recombiner bus bar, which leads to an output bus bar, and ultimately to an external inverter. The current transducers are linked to a control circuit board which utilizes an antenna to send RF signals to a receiver. In this manner individual combiner boxes in a solar field can be monitored wirelessly.
