Technical FAQs 4

Can overvoltage cause arcing in high-voltage power supplies?

Overvoltage conditions can lead to arcing in high-voltage power supplies. When the voltage exceeds the design specifications of your system, it can cause insulation breakdown and subsequent arcing. This is particularly common in systems that experience power surges or transient voltages.

Can a high voltage power supply cause arcing?

Design flaws in your high-voltage power supply can contribute to arcing problems. These flaws may include improper layout, insufficient insulation, or inadequate component selection. Conducting thorough design reviews and testing can identify potential issues before they lead to arcing.

How can high-voltage accessories reduce the risk of arcing?

Quality components designed for high–voltage applications can reduce the risk of arcing. HVM Technology offers a wide range of high-voltage accessories that can enhance your system’s reliability. By investing in the right accessories, you can optimize the performance of your power supply and prevent arcing.

How to prevent the arcing of the DC side of the inverter?

2.Solax’s solution In order to prevent the arcing of the DC side of the inverter from causing fires and other hazards, SolaX engineers have developed the integrated AFCI function, which detects the arcing of the DC side and cuts the circuit in time to protect the user and the electrical system.
