Wiring Connection of solar panel Junction box and function of diodes that used into it ?

By Bharat Ribadiya -
This article is about the wiring connection of back side of solar panel junction box. After reading this article you will know about wiring of solar panel junction box.

In the below image you can see a junction box of solar panel. Their are two terminals, one terminal is positive and other one is negative also their are two diodes. Both the terminals are connected with battery through the charge controller. If you see junction box clearly you can find this is a loop system. There are three terminals and that's why it's called loop system. Here the connected diodes are in forward bias from solar panels to give output for battery charging.

Function of diodes- 
Figure- Solar panel with diodes connection
In diagram you can see a simple setup of solar panel charging the batteries with a blocking diode in series with panels. During day time while solar panels are producing the voltage is greater then the charging voltage but during night their are no voltage producing by the panels. So, the voltage of battery will cause of flow in the opposite direction of the solar panels. It will discharging the battery if their are not used the blocking diode.

Now consider in the above diagram, if one of the solar panel is shaded(shading is caused by snow, tree branch , debris etc.), the panel is not producing significant power as well as it have very high resistance. it wil block the flow of power produced by other unshaded panel. By using bypass diode, current produced by the other unshaded panel can flow through the bypass diode because of high resistance of shaded panel.

In this article you will learn about how to do three phase wiring in home. Generally, the elctrical supply provider company install single phase energy meter for where requirements is 7.5 kW load in domestic areas but if this limit exceeded then they install 3-phase meter. For this we required following things. Requirements- Required Materials Number Three phase energy meter 1 Three pole, 63 A, MCCB 1 Double pole, 63 A, 30 mA, Trip current RCD 3 Double Pole MCBs, 63A 3 Single Pole, 20A, MCB 6 Single Pole, 16A, MCB 3 Single Pole, 10A, MCB 6 Distribution board cases 3 Cupper strips for MCB Common connection 3 Here, the connected load is single phase. their is no 3 phase load connected to the 3 phase system. The 3 phase wiring are used because our load is more then 7.5 kW. Now, let's start the procedure how to install 3 phase wiring for your home. Figure 1- 3 phase winding in home As shown in the...

In this article we learn about how to control a lamp with 3 different switches at different places. This is very useful. For doing this we required two 2-way switch, 1 intermediate switch and a lamp. Connect all these as shown as in the below diagram. Fig.-1 In the above diagram the lamp is on because the circuit is in closed condition.To understand easily the circuit diagram for this, is given below.  Fig.-2 In this case the lamp(bulb) is in off condition. So, the circuit is open condition. Here, one more example is given.  How you can turn on/off a lamp or bulb from six different places. For this we required four number of intermediate switch, two number of 2 way SPDT switch and 1 bulb. Connect all these components as shown as in the figure below. Fig.-3 What is Intermediate switch , its construction and working principle? Fig.-4 An intermediate switch have four terminals. Because of this terminals it is possible to change the flow of the cu...

Automatic UPS system wiring for home or office This article is about how to connect a UPS system in our home or office and this is very useful information.  The below circuit diagram shows the how to connect a UPS from our main supply to appliance(load). This circuit diagram is for in case of falling the main power supply and you want to supply power to specific appliances, TV, AC, laptop etc. in your home or office.  As shown as, two rooms are connected with main power supply.  Here, you don't have to connect the neutral wire connection from UPS because it's already connected the phase and neutral wire from the main power supply with the same point. To connect UPS first you have to remove the connection of phase wire from the main distribution box(from SP,DP or CB) of those rooms which you want to connect with UPS. By doing this(connect with both supply), we can use the power without interruption. If main power fails the UPS will provides the power ...
