    1.2 A ABB declares that the ABB transformerless inverters, in terms of their construction, do not inject continuous earth fault currents and therefore there is no requirement that the differential protection installed downstream of the inverter be type B in accordance with IEC 60755 / A 2.

  • Page 21: Grid Output Connection (Ac Side)

    — Grid output connection (AC side) The inverter must be connected to a three-phase system with the center of the star connected to earth. To connect the inverter to the grid is possible to choose between the four-wire connection (3 phases + neutral) and the three-wire connection (3 phases). In any case, the inverter’s earth connection is mandatory.
