Page 18: Checking The Pv System For Ground Faults
5 Checking the PV System for Ground Faults SMA Solar Technology AG Checking the PV System for Ground Faults If the inverter displays the event numbers 3501, 3601 or 3701, there could be a ground fault. The electrical insulation from the PV system to ground is defective or insufficient. - Page 19 SMA Solar Technology AG 5 Checking the PV System for Ground Faults • If a ground fault is present, determine the location of the ground fault via the ratio of the two measured voltages and eliminate the ground fault. Example: Location of the ground fault The example shows a ground fault between the second and third PV module.
- Page 20 5 Checking the PV System for Ground Faults SMA Solar Technology AG Calculating the insulation resistance The expected total resistance of the PV system or of an individual string can be calculated using the following formula: total The exact insulation resistance of a PV module can be obtained from the module manufacturer or the datasheet.
- Page 21 SMA Solar Technology AG 5 Checking the PV System for Ground Faults 12. Recommission the inverter. 13. If the inverter still displays an insulation error, contact the Service (see Section 13 "Contact", page 34). The PV modules might not be suitable for the inverter in the present quantity.
