Viridian ArcBox Solar Connector Enclosure – Box of 12

The ArchBox – reducing fire risks in Solar PV

The number of solar installations is growing fast and with it the risk that mistakes assembling DC connectors lead to fires.

The ArcBox enclosure simply snaps around a DC connector to ensure that if an arc ever occurs it is safely contained and doesn’t spread to combustible materials in or around the solar installation. The effectiveness of the product has been independently verified by the KIWA fire test laboratory and Loughborough University.
