6.2.3 Cable Protection

The DC circuit breaker in the Sunny Island can interrupt DC currents of up to 10 kA. In addition to the
internal DC circuit breakers, install a separate, external fuse as close as possible to the battery. Install
a fuse link for the fuse suitable for the maximum occurring DC currents.
Electric shock resulting from insufficient protection of the DC cables. Death or serious burns.
• Check whether external cable protection is present.
• If no external cable protection is present, observe the following:
– Lay the DC cables so that ground faults and short-circuits cannot occur.
– Install the additional current limiting fuse outside of the Sunny Island. When doing so,
observe all locally applicable standards and directives.
