Page 34 34 | EN / SunMaster CS15TL RP / CS20TL RP / CS30TL RP 10.6.2 PV array earthing If the PV array is not grounded and local regulations require this, it is allowed to ground the neutral at the transformer side (TN network) If the PV array is functionally earthed it is recommended to use a separate transformer for each inverter, or to use a transformer with multiple isolated windings.
Page 35: Functional Grounding
| 35 EN / SunMaster CS15TL RP / CS20TL RP / CS30TL RP 11 FUNCTIONAL GROUNDING 11.1 FUNCTIONAL GROUNDING During normal operation, the CS inverter will balance the DC voltage on its terminals around the PE potential. This means the negative DC terminal will operate on a negative poten- tial with respect to PE and vice versa for the positive DC terminal.
