WHAT ARE TWO TYPES OF SOLAR POWER SYSTEMS
|
THE TWO TYPES OF SOLAR POWER SYSTEMS ARE THERMAL SYSTEMS (DIRECT HEATING) AND PHOTOVOLTAIC (GENERATING ELECTRICITY)
|
|
|
WHAT ARE SOME COMMON CONFIGURATIONS OR MODULES
|
CONFIGURATION OF MODULES INCLUDE FRAMED,FLEXIBLE,AND ROLLED. MULTIPLE MODULES (IN PANELS OR STRINGS) ARE OFTEN MECHANICALLY INTEGRATED WITH A SUPPORTS STRUCTURE AND FOUNDATION,TRACKER AND OTHER COMPONENTS TO FORM A DIRECT CURRENT POWER PRODUCING UNIT. AND THESE ARE TERMED AN ARRAY OR PHOTOVOLTAIC ARRAY
|
|
|
WHAT ARE SOME KEY COMPONENTS OF A PV SYSTEM
|
KEY COMPONENTS ARE THE INVERTERS.DISCONNECTS,CONDUIT AND SOMETIMES AN ELECTRICAL STAORAGE DEVICE; IE BATTERIES
|
|
|
WHAT ARE FIREGROUND ELECTRICAL HAZARDS WITH PV SYSTEMS
|
ELECTRICAL SHOCK WHILE EXTINGUISHING A BUILDING FIRE IS A REALISTIC FIREGROUND HAZARD.
|
|
|
WHAT IS VOLTAGE
|
VOLTAGE IS THE ELECTROMOTIVE FORCE OR POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE, MEASURED IN VOLTS. VOLTAGE IS THE "PRESSURE" THAT PUSHES AN ELECTRICAL CHARGE THROUGH A CONDUCTOR
|
|
|
WHAT IS AMPERAGE OR CURRENT
|
AMPERAGE IS THE AMOUNT OF ELECTRICAL CHARGE FLOWING PAST A GIVEN POINT PER UNIT OF TIME, MEASURED IN AMPRERES OR AMPS. AMPERAGE IS THE MEASURE OF ELECTRICAL CURRENT FLOW.
|
|
|
WHAT ARE SOME VARIABLES OF PHYSIOLOGICAL IMPACT
|
THEY INCLUDE AMOUNT OF CURRENT FLOWING THROUGH THE BODY;LENGTH OF CONTACT TIME,TRAVEL PATH THROUGH THE BODY, AREA OF CONTACT, PRESSURE OR CONTACT,MOISTURE OF CONTACT, BODY SIZE AND SHAPE AND TYPE OF SKIN
|
|
|
PRIMARY HAZARDS OF A PV SYSTEM FOR EMERGENCY RESPONDERS
|
-TRIPPING & SLIPPING
-STRUCTURAL COLLAPSE DUE TO EXCESS WEIGHT -FLAME SPREAD -INHALATION EXPOSURE -ELECTRICAL SHOCK -BATTERY HAZARDS |
|
|
WHAT ARE SOME GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WITH A PV SYSTEM
|
1-DAYTIME =DANGER NIGHTIME=NO HAZARD
2- INFORM THE IC THAT A PV SYSTEM IS PRESENT 3-SECURING THE MAIN ELECTRICAL DOES NOT SHUT DOWN THE PV MODULES 4- AT NIGHT APPARATUS-MOUNTED SCENE LIGHTING DOES NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH LIGHT TO GENERATE AN ELECTRICAL HAZARD IN THE PV SYSTEM 5- COVER ALL PV MODULES WITH 100% LIGHT BLOCKING MATERIALS TO STOP ELECTRICAL GENERATION 6. DO NOT BREAK, REMOVE,OR WALK ON PV MODULES AND STAY AWAY FROM MODULES,COMPONENTS AND CONDUIT |
|
|
