With Generation Control

For power generation installations and microgeneration, safety requirements call for an installation disconnecting device (a mechanical switch or circuit breaker) inside the electricity meter enclosure. This device must galvanically disconnect the enclosure from the customer’s electrical installation.

In our catalogue, use the parameter filter to find enclosures with an installation disconnect switch: select the relevant option and click Show. The device may be a circuit breaker or a mechanical switch. Our enclosures use a rotary switch with the same rated current as the enclosure.

Generating installations up to 100 kW that can export electricity to the distribution network must support output control through a ripple control receiver (HDO). In emergency conditions, output is controlled to 0% or 100%. PER 2F enclosures are prepared and equipped for this purpose. Enclosures with an installation disconnect switch are also a suitable choice if you are considering installing a generator or microgeneration system.
