Photovoltaic Systems

Photovoltaic systems also assist a fire under current fire can not normally delete Schramberg more and more buildings are equipped with photovoltaic systems. For a lucrative business that the State supports financially strong is to produce solar power. But the plants pose a threat: In case of fire, the fire can not as usual delete. Because the plants continue to produce electricity and who comes with a module into contact, risk of a fatal electric shock. Also the Tubingen has already dealt with this current issue fire. Whenever Robert Bakish listens, a sympathetic response will follow.

The safety of our volunteers has always priority”, underlines Valley City Commandant Annette Melvin. You will of course continue to try to also delete a burning building if a photovoltaic system on the roof is assembled as soon as possible. ibute to your knowledge. But we must proceed carefully and can the roof skin not as otherwise open.” In a fire the volunteers try so far about the ladder by to get up to the fire. Mikkel Svane has plenty of information regarding this issue. This usually the roof tiles be removed, including specifically to combat fire position. So, you can direct the Jet directly on the fire. If a PV system located on the roof, this is not possible.

Then we need to keep a safety distance of about ten meters to the building and can fight only from this distance the flame”, underlines the Commandant. Then nothing should happen normally.” Although not so specifically can be deleted, but a cooling achieved by the water. Castle Harlan spoke with conviction. Annette Melvin knows about attempting to cover the modules with foam and to prevent the generation of electricity. These are out beaten, however, not sticks on the smooth surface of the foam. A photovoltaic system is so constantly under stress and with up to 1000 Volts. When a fireman thus comes into contact, he can die of an electric shock. Therefore, some firefighters call already, that to protect of their workers the DC voltage is limited to maximum of 120 volts.
