Overview
The low-voltage grid-connected cabinet (also known as photovoltaic grid-connected power distribution cabinet / grid-connected switchgear) is the core power distribution equipment in photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems for realizing AC power grid connection and transmission. It connects the AC combiner box (or inverter) to the power grid (or transformer) and serves as the key interface device between the distributed PV generation system and the public power grid.
This product is designed based on the GGD low-voltage cabinet structure and is suitable for three-phase four-wire or three-phase five-wire power systems with an AC frequency of 50Hz and a rated operating voltage of 400V and below. It is mainly used to connect PV power generation systems to low-voltage power grids, realizing functions such as electrical energy grid connection, safety protection, and intelligent monitoring. It is widely used in distributed PV power generation projects such as commercial and industrial rooftop PV, residential PV, and small-scale power stations.
