It is compulsory to install SPD (surge protection devices) at the ac output of a single phase and three-phase solar inverters. The surge protection module will protect the inverter from high voltages that might be detrimental for the MOSFET and IGBT (internal semiconductors). We recommend the following devices with din-rail mounting.
In the solar system, this type of SPD is mounted close to the panels. The SPD for solar panel protects against direct lightning strikes, and must be properly rated for the higher voltages that the strikes can cause. The circuit surge protector is a type 2 SPD and usually provides secondary protection.
Leakage current of the photovoltaic system, which is also known as the square matrix residual current, is essentially a kind of common mode current. The cause is that there is parasitic capacitance between the photovoltaic system and the earth.
The solar SPD connection must always ensure connection to ground, since surge protection devices typically work by providing a low impedance path to ground for the surge current. Once the SPD is properly installed and connected, the last step is to test the device to ensure that it is functioning correctly.
Standard and detection of leakage current According to the 7.10.2 regulation of NB32004-2013 standard, in any case where the solar inverter is connected to the AC grid and the AC breaker is turned off, the inverter should provide leak current detection.
And it has an extremely high precision requirement, a special current sensor is required. The photovoltaic standard stipulates that for the detection of photovoltaic leakage current, Type B, that is, a current sensor capable of measuring both AC and DC leakage currents, must be used.
