The product is equipped with an integrated universal current-sensitive residual current monitoring unit inside. The inverter will disconnect immediately from the mains power as soon as fault current with a value exceeding the limit. If an external residual-current protection device is required, please install a type B residual-current protection device with a protection limit of not less than 100mA.
conductor connected and disconnects the inverter from the utility grid if this is the case. Depending on the installation site and grid configuration, it may be advisable to deactivate the grounding conductor monitoring. This is necessary, for example, in an IT system if there is no neutral conductor present and you intend to install the inverter between two line conductors.
