  • Page 113: Verification Of Ground Leakage

    8 - Maintenance Verification of ground leakage In the presence of anomalies or report of ground fault (where provided), there may be a ground leakage from the PV generator (DC side). To check this, measure the voltage between the positive pole and ground and between the negative pole (of the PV generator) and ground using a voltmeter whose input accepts a voltage sufficient for the dimensions of the photovoltaic generator.

  • Page 114: Behaviour Of A System With Leakage

    8 - Maintenance Behaviour of a system with leakage If the voltage measured between one of the two poles and ground does not tend to 0V and stabilizes on a value, there is a ground leakage from the PV generator. Example: When the measurement is made between positive pole and ground, a voltage of 200V is measured.

  • Page 115: Measuring The Insulation Resistance Of Photovoltaic Generator

    8 - Maintenance Measuring the insulation resistance of photovoltaic generator To measure the insulation resistance of the PV generator compared to ground , the two poles of the PV generator must be short-circuited (using a suitably sized switch). Once the short-circuit has been made, measure the insulation resistance (Riso) using a megohmmeter positioned between the two shorted poles and ground (of the inverter).
