    8 - Maintenance erification 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.

    8 - Maintenance ehaviour 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.
