What is BS EN IEC 62790 about?

BS EN IEC 62790 is an international safety standard that deals with the security of the equipment used in photovoltaic modules. BS EN IEC 62790 describes safety requirements, constructional requirements and tests for junction boxes up to 1 500 V DC for use on photovoltaic modules in accordance with class II of IEC 61140:2016 . BS EN IEC 62790 applies also to enclosures/junction boxes 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. Note 1: BS EN IEC 62790 does not apply to the electronic circuits of these devices, for which other IEC standards apply. Note 2: BS EN IEC 62790 can be used as a guideline in photovoltaic systems, for junction boxes in accordance with classes 0 and III of IEC 61140:2016 .
