Overview
This International Standard applies for junction boxes up to 1500 V DC for use on photovoltaic modules according to application class A of IEC 61140:2004. This document also applies for enclosures mounted on PV-modules containing electronic circuits for converting, controlling, monitoring or similar operations. Additional requirements concerning the relevant operations are applied under consideration of the environmental conditions of the PV modules. This standard does not apply to the electronic circuits of these devices, for which other IEC standards apply. For junction boxes according to application class B and C of IEC 61730-1:2004, mod., this standard can be used as a directive. The responsible committee is DKE/K 373 "Photovoltaische Solarenergie-Systeme" ("Solar photovoltaic energy systems") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
