Conditions for the AC Connection
AC breakers must be installed on the AC side of the SMILE-B3-PLUS to ensure that
the system can be safely disconnected from the power grid and the load.
DANGER
Danger to life due to fire!
You must protect each SMILE-B3-PLUS with an individual AC circuit breaker in order
to ensure that the system can be disconnected safely.
Do not connect loads between the SMILE-B3-PLUS and the grid breaker.
No consumer load should be applied between the AC circuit breaker and SMILE-B3-
PLUS. Use dedicated circuit breakers with load switch functionality for load switching.
The selection of the AC circuit breaker rating depends on the wiring design (wire
cross section area), cable type, wiring method, ambient temperature, inverter current
rating, etc. Derating of the AC circuit breaker rating may be necessary due to self-
heating or if exposed to heat.
The maximum AC current of SMILE-B3-PLUS can be found in the following table.
We recommend the following AC circuit breaker for AC connection.
