Safety

2.1 Appropriate Usage
The series inverters are PV inverters which can convert the DC current of the PV generator into AC current and feed it into the public grid.

► Surge protection devices (SPDs) for PV installation

Warning!
Over-voltage protection with surge arresters should be provided when the PV power system is installed.
The grid connected inverter is fitted with SPDs in both PV input side and MAINS side.

Lightning will cause a damage either from a direct strike or from surges due to a nearby strike.
Induced surges are the more likely cause of lightning damage in the majority of installations, especially in rural areas where electricity is usually provided by long overhead lines. Surges may be induced on both the PV array conductors or the AC cables leading to the building.
Specialists in lightning protection should be consulted in the actual application.
Using appropriate external lightning protection, the effect of a direct lightning strike into a building can be mitigated in a controlled way, and the lightning current can be discharged into the ground.
Installation of SPDs to protect the inverter against mechanical damage and excessive stress include a surge arrester in case of a building with external lightning protection system (LPS) when separation distance is kept.
To protect the DC system, surge protection device (SPD type 2) should be fitted at the inverter end of the DC cabling and at the array located between the inverter and the PV generator.
To protect the AC system, surge protection devices (SPD type2) should be fitted at the main incoming point of AC supply (at the consumer’s cutout), located between the inverter and the meter/distribution system;
SPD (test impulse D1) for signal line according to EN 61632-1.
All DC cables should be installed to provide as short a run as possible, and positive and negative cables of the string or main DC supply should be bundled together. Avoiding the creation of loops in the system. This requirement for short runs and bundling includes any associated earth bundling conductors.
Spark gap devices are not suitable to be used in DC circuits once conducting, they won’t stop conducting until the voltage across their terminals is typically below 30 volts.

► Anti-Islanding Effect
Islanding effect is a special phenomenon that grid-connected PV system still supplies power to the nearby grid when the grid loss happened in the power system. It is dangerous for maintenance personnel and the public. The series inverters provide Active Frequency Drift(AFD) to prevent islanding effect.

After switching off the PV and Mains, always wait for 5 minutes to let the intermediate circuit capacitors discharge before you unplug DC and MAINS couplers.
• When accessing the internal circuit of solar inverter, it is very important to wait 5 minutes before operating the power circuit or demounting the electrolyte capacitors inside the device. Do not open the device before hand since the capacitors require time to sufficiently discharge!
• Measure the voltage between terminals UDC+ and UDC- with a multimeter (impedance at least 1Mohm) to ensure that the device is discharged before beginning work (35 VDC) inside the device.

PE Connection and Leakage Current

• All inverters incorporate a certified internal Residual Current Device(RCD) in order to protect against possible electrocution and fire hazard in case of a malfunction in the PV array, cables or inverter. There are 2 trip thresholds for the RCD as required for certification (IEC 62109-2:2011). The default value for electrocution protection is 30 mA, and for slow rising current is 300 mA.
• If an external RCD is required by local regulations, it is recommended to choose a Type-A RCD with the rating residual current of 300 mA.

Warning!
