300mA per unit for lower speed fire safety. Installation and Selection of an External RCD device • An external RCD is required in some countries. The installer must check which type of RCD is required by the specific local electric codes. Installation of an RCD must always be conducted in accordance with local codes and standards. Energizer recommends the use of a type-A RCD. Unless a lower value is required by the specific local electric codes, Energizer suggests an RCD value between 100mA and 300mA. • In installations where the local electric code requires an RCD with a lower leakage setting, the discharge current might result in nuisance tripping of the external RCD. The following steps are recommended to avoid nuisance tripping of the external RCD: 1. -
Page 6: About Product
FORCE SERIES INVERTER - USER MANUAL To protect the AC system, surge suppression devices (SPD type2) should be fitted at the main incoming point of AC supply (at the consumer’s cutout), located between the inverter and the meter/distribution system; SPD (test impulse D1) for signal line according to EN 61632-1. All DC cables should be installed to provide as short a run as possible, and positive and negative cables of the string or main DC supply should be bundled together. Avoiding the creation of loops in the system. This requirement for short runs and bundling includes any associated earth bundling conductors. Spark gap devices are not suitable to be used in DC circuits once conducting; they won’t stop conducting until the voltage across their terminals is typically below 30 volts. -
